Making people and businesses successful on social media: Social media management, strategy, and personal branding for B2B businesses who want to get noticed, build relationships, and create opportunities.
Let's chatSocial media strategy, management and personal branding for B2B businesses who want to grow online. I’ll help you get noticed, build relationships and create opportunities - while you stay focused on running the business.
Hand over your social media and I’ll build a presence that gets you noticed, builds relationships, and creates opportunities. From strategy and content creation to scheduling, engagement, and reporting – I handle it all so you can focus on running your business.
This is all about growing your presence on LinkedIn – whether that’s your own or your team’s. From personal branding support to interactive workshops, I’ll give you the clarity, confidence, and consistency to show up, build relationships and create opportunities.
When you just need clarity, direction, or a plan that makes sense – I’ll help you simplify your social media, focus on what matters, and move forward with purpose. I do that through a one-to-one 60-minute sessions, full strategy builds, and ongoing consultancy.
From founders and freelancers to family-run firms and established B2B brands - I’ve managed social media and delivered LinkedIn workshops for some brilliant people and businesses across the UK.
"Over the past 18 months, Ryan has completely elevated our social media game. His insight, creativity, and strategic approach have been game-changing — helping us rank just behind Starbucks and Costa on LinkedIn in the UK in 2024, and delivering a Facebook post that went viral with over 1 million impressions. Those are just two stand-out moments from a long list of successes he’s driven for us. Ryan’s talent speaks for itself."

"Ryan is our trusted, go-to social media expert for everything we do. Having worked with Ryan across various companies including established businesses and start-ups, he has a proven track record of exceeding expectations and surpassing targets. Ryan invests time into understanding your business, the market sector, current trends and your target audience. He keeps up with the various platform changes and algorithms so the required results are achieved. He is truly dedicated to success and having fun along the way!"

"Ryan delivered excellent LinkedIn training for our team. We had a wide range of experience, but everyone walked away with something valuable. Ryan has a great ability to tailor his approach, providing practical, real-world activities and examples that went well beyond the theory. The training has already helped our team improve our outreach and engagement efforts. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to level up their LinkedIn strategy."
Elisha Horrocks
Senior Marketing Lecturer
University of Northampton
“Having worked with Ryan in various capacities, he is hands-down the only person I would trust outside our organisation to run our social channels, and in turn be front and centre of our brand voice and external communications. His knowledge of social and how this fits in to marketing is second to none, and his commitment to understanding our goals and helping us achieve them has been unwavering. I’d highly recommend Ryan to anyone wanting to improve their game across social channels.”
Steve Walsh
Managing Director
Jump Media Group
"Like most marketing activities, LinkedIn can feel like an uphill battle to learn, actually do, and then succeed on. What's properly brilliant about Ryan is his ability to break it down into something not at all intimidating, and really practical. He calmly and supportively explains how it works without gimmicks, and how you practically can fit it into your already busy schedule. Then he nudges, cajoles and gently reminds you why its worth doing so. I'm a massive fan of his training and ongoing support styles and our community is better off for the monthly sessions he runs with us!"
Penni Pickering
Co-Founder
Cowork Crew
"Ryan has turned our social media into a major talking point. In every meeting with new or existing clients, someone always mentions how engaging and interesting our content is. We receive constant compliments, which is a testament to his creativity and dedication. He's such a great guy to work with that we even invite him out to our socials!"

“Ryan’s one-to-one session was incredibly helpful and packed with actionable advice. He guided me through LinkedIn features I didn’t even know existed, showing me exactly how to elevate my profile to align with my professional offering. In just one hour, I learned so much that I can immediately put into practice. Thank you, Ryan!”
Rachel Way
Founder and MD
The Work Bees
“Ryan delivered a bespoke LinkedIn workshop for our corporate comms and charity teams. It was clear how much time and effort Ryan had put in to make the session unique for us, rather than an off-the-shelf product. This made it so much more valuable and insightful, and there are now plenty of ideas and suggestions for the team to make our LinkedIn content even better. I would recommend him to anyone.”
Sam Edwards
Head of Communications
Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
"Ryan and I worked together over the course of three years, developing and implementing digital content strategies for a range of big organisations in the sports industry. His attention to detail, accuracy and all-round thoroughness while working at pace was, and remains, very impressive. It’s fair to say I have grown on an individual basis thanks to his qualities. Clients can be rest assured their digital property is in the best possible hands with Ryan at the helm."
Dan Connor
Co-Founder
AND THE NEW
"Ryan delivered a brilliant Linkedin workshop for the Founders & Friends community. He brought real insights, offered up incredible value for our members and all with a conversational approach of a friend offering you some much-needed advice. It was great that he incorporated some ‘doing’ within his workshop so our members had something tangible to go away and implement! We’ve had nothing but great feedback - thanks again to Ryan for this super session."
Alexander Meazzini

“Ryan comes with a wealth of knowledge and expertise - he has not only transformed my social media and marketing, but my entire business. Without his support and guidance, we would not be where we are today. I would urge anyone to get in touch with Ryan to lead the way for all things social media. It’s a real comfort to know that I do not have to worry about social media and that it is all in exceptionally good hands.”

"Ryan is, without a doubt, the best social media specialist I've had the privilege of working with. Not only does he have a comprehensive understanding of how each channel works - keeping up with key developments - but also brings a level of pro-activity that is often the difference maker when creating impactful social content. Ryan is an expert at organically growing a business's social media channels, and has also worked collaboratively with me on implementing an employee advocacy tool and building the confidence of individuals - empowering and supporting them to share content and build a digital network."
Lewis Thomas
BD Manager

"In just 60 minutes, Ryan was able to distil my ramblings and help me form a manageable, coherent, succinct LinkedIn strategy. I can now go onto LinkedIn knowing exactly what I need to do to achieve my goals, and who I need to build relationships with. I would highly recommend booking a session with Ryan if you're in need of some social media guidance or inspiration - like I was!"
Rafael Garcia-Krailing

"I started my business five years ago and the only marketing I've ever spent money on is with Ryan. In those five years we've built a loyal customer base which means I've always had a full diary of work, and we're continuing to grow. We have social media channels to be proud of, that tell our story, how we can help our customers and why people should choose us, and much of our continued success is thanks to our presence online. Ryan is a big part of my business and I'd highly recommend making him a part of yours, too."

"We contacted Ryan when we were a start-up, beginning our journey as NexGen Business Finance. He came to meet us and offered sound advice on social media, and marketing more widely, and was honest with what we should prioritise with the modest budget we had at the time. That gave us the platform to progress, and we're now able to invest more into our marketing to scale the business. We would highly recommend that anyone needing social media management and consultancy contacts Ryan - regardless of where you're at in your journey."

I’ve grown a law firm's LinkedIn company page following over 48,000, trained more than 500 people to feel confident using social media for business, and delivered 2.85 million impressions in a single year for a UK coffee shop brand through strategic social media management.
My passion is getting to know people and their businesses - understanding what they want to achieve, who they need to speak to, and how social media can open the right doors. Whether I’m managing your channels, shaping your LinkedIn presence, or building a clear strategy for you to follow, the process is always simple, collaborative and focused on results.
