After spending 18+ years inside the walls of some of the best ad agencies, Ryan noticed a lot of advertisers struggling to get the support they needed, returning to the pitch process year after year without committing - or settling for a junior team handling their account at an agency they could barely afford.  He wanted to counter the industry jargon, high fees, and long term commitments with access to high-end agency talent - to collaborate & teach so that clients could develop in-house skills, make key hires and slowly lessen their demand on agencies - or to simply help them keep moving forward till that upgrade to a bigger agency partner or significant hire made sense.  Bridge the gap - each client’s unique gap - in a bespoke manner relevant for their business.

So, founded in 2019, Bridge Business Development exists to provide the expertise, transparency and partnership needed to take the next (or first) step in a company’s advertising and marketing efforts. Ryan leveraged his extensive experience working with some of the world’s most recognized brands and his network of talented, former colleagues to build an accessible bridge that would support the unique needs of each client.

Fast-forward to today and Ryan has helped 30+ businesses and brands across a wide variety of industries connect more effectively and intimately with their customers. His joy has come in helping a small company do their first ever campaign, a start up make their first few key hiring decisions, and leveraging his network’s collective skills to compliment an established brand’s in-house team.
