Change is a good thing…

I am proud to announce that RyCOM Creative has acquired Skragglies, a local digital marketing company. Skragglies clients should be optimistic about the change, with RyCOM’s graphic design, printing, photo/video, consulting, PR and branding services being added to the existing digital marketing services already offered by Skragglies.

The acquisition comes after Justin Skaggs approached RyCOM with health concerns and a need to step away from the industry. Although Skragglies was considered a competitor of our’s, we had worked on many projects together in the past, so this move makes a lot of sense for everyone involved.

RyCOM offers all of the services that Skragglies had been delivering to clients. This means that all existing Skragglies clients will not see any change in available services due to the acquisition. We actually foresee an improvement in service levels and responsiveness. Although the Skragglies name will slowly transition out, we can ensure all of our clients that the local, personal service they received from Skragglies will continue with RyCOM.

We are still in the transition phase, working with Skragglies clients to get them into the RyCOM family. During the transition, we are asking that any current Skragglies clients book a time to come in to meet the RyCOM team and discuss all the ways we can help you get more…

I am really excited about this next phase in the RyCOM story. We faced a fork in the road back in 2017 – Shoot for a national audience and automated growth path or to invest in our community and grow locally. We chose our community. This is the next step in that process.
