I'm just finishing up my first week at Ryan Does Marketing.
I think it's only fair I give a few observations while it's all still fresh.
I've got 8 of them so here goes...
๐ญ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
It's called Ryan Does Marketing, but Ryan mainly does everything but marketing. The irony isn't lost on me.
๐ฎ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐.
Ryan has ADHD and the whole office knows about it. Not because he told us. Because every 15 minutes there's a random eruption. BANG. Full volume. No warning. It's like working next to a human notification you can't mute.
๐ฏ. ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐'๐ ๐น๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ต.
About as dry as his banter. The man brought plain rice in a Tupperware and nobody questioned it. I have questions.
๐ฐ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
Out of control. We've got crates of the stuff. If you want Celsius then Ryan's the plug.
๐ฑ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐บ.
Tragic before I arrived. I'm not saying I saved it. But the playlist went from funeral to festival in about 3 minutes and nobody's denied it.
๐ฒ. ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐.
Been here ages, apparently. He doesn't rush. He doesn't stress. Comes in, does his thing and goes home. I genuinely thought he was part of the furniture for the first two days. Then he spoke. Then went back to being furniture.
๐ณ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ง๐ถ๐ธ๐ง๐ผ๐ธ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐.
When Ryan decides everyone needs to see last night's saved reels, all productivity leaves the building. Full 25-minute hostage situation. No one is safe.
๐ด. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐๐ป.
He does a Costa run every single morning like it's a religious obligation. No debate. One small problem. I don't like coffee. He looked so happy handing me that cup on Monday that I just took it. Smiled. Said thank you. And now I'm five days deep into a lie I can't get out of. So Ryan... if you're reading this... surprise!!
He also says we should always over deliver. So consider this one a freebie.
๐ต. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐'๐บ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ.
There's a secret project. Can't say what. Can't say when. He's had me sign a MOT. Or a DNA. Or PPI. Or an STD. Something like that. NDA? One of those. Either way it's legally binding and I'm choosing not to test it.
If you're a local business... keep your eyes peeled. Something good is coming.
Underneath all the noise, the rice, the caffeine and the chaos...
There's something very smart going on here.
Funny how that works.
Right. Back to pretending I know what I'm doing ๐
