Chief Everything

Still heavily involved with the daily operations, Ryan is the head of all things RyCOM, including doing the dishes at least once a month, maybe.

King of Cameras

All things still and moving, Luis makes them sexy, or professional – whatever you need. Just don’t ask him to get less footage #cantstopwontstop

Aly

Digital Media Diva

The power behind all things media buying and ad management, she’s got the swagger of a 3 million dollar ad budget – sometimes.

Renan

Design Guru

If you’ve seen some of our client’s organic social media content, chances are Renan designed it. Unless Ryan did – or Aly – or Zach.

Lana

Lana

AI Chat Bot

Yes, she made the “team page” cut because honestly, she’s better at communicating than most humans. Just don’t tell her she’s a bot – we’ve yet to break that news to her.

zach

Zach

The Future

Someday he’ll take over the “family” business – but until then, he’s enjoying being whatever we need, and for now – and awesome son/intern is perfect.

Tom Ford “Lolipop”

Director of Client Cuddles

He barks, he runs, he cuddles, and he makes all of our clients feel at home. Until he’s gone missing for more than 2 minutes… (check the bathroom).
