"Over the past 18 months, Social with Ryan has completely elevated our social media game. Ryan's 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."

"Social with Ryan’s social media management has had such a positive impact on supporting our strategic goals, and the whole team has enthusiastically got on board with providing content through our WhatsApp group. The biggest thank you from me is for how well Ryan integrates with our members and staff when he visits our centres. Everyone knows who he is, they’re comfortable around him, and they happily carry on with their day while he takes photos and videos. Ryan understands our people, our culture, and he effortlessly lives our values."

"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."

“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 Social with 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
"Social with Ryan 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 Ryan's 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'd recommend Social with Ryan 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."

"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!"

"I started my business five years ago and the only marketing I've ever spent money on is with Social 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."
Taylor Nolan
Director
NexGen Business Finance

After more than a decade working as a social media manager, I started Social with Ryan in late 2023 to give businesses expert social media strategy and management – without the cost or complexity of hiring in-house.

My career has taken me from Northampton to the States, Canada, India, across Europe – and even onto a cruise ship in the North Sea.
But now, I’m back home in Northampton, ready to meet you.
Whether you need full social media management, LinkedIn personal branding, or clear consultancy to guide your team, I’ll make sure your business shows up confidently and consistently online.
