Welcome to Ryan Thomas Content Creation, your all-in-one digital marketing solution provider. Ryan is an adventurer, content creator, marketing strategist, and data analyst.
Ryan is a life-long story teller – so we’d like to share his story, our company, and our values.
Our Story
Ryan Thomas – founder of RTCC – is a third-generation visual artist and story-teller with the heart of a salesman.
His grandfather is an award winning photographer and life-long writer. He passed his skills and knowledge to his son who became an award winning photographer just like him. When Ryan was a child, his dad and grandad were preparing for a typical family photo-outing. This time was special though, because this is when Ryan’s father gifted him his first camera. Ryan shot through all of his film on the first outing and was excited to get more.
Ryan fell in love with photography and the art of visual story telling. He was mentored by his father and grandfather in the art of storytelling through photographs and writing. His grandfather presented his collegiate slideshow lessons on a projector, teaching Ryan about visual composition, color, contrast, storytelling in photography, and so much more. When digital photography emerged, Ryan’s father taught him how to use post-editing software like Photoshop and Lightroom to transform raw photos into unique and stunning photographs.
After finishing his education, Ryan decided that his life would be better if he wasn’t tethered to one location. He embraced the life of a nomadic outdoorsman. He traveled all over America. He backpacked across mountains. He became an avid climber of rocks and ice and snow. He paddled rivers rivers and sailed the sea. All the while capturing photos of everything he could. He worked in a variety of industries: he was a wilderness guide and volunteer photographer with Outward Bound, he was a groundskeeper at a hostel, he and a team built an ice castle, he was a ski instructor, he worked in a seafood processor in Alaska, then he found his way on a commercial salmon fishing boat shortly after.
During his travels, he decided to expand the family-skillset beyond photo and writing. He became a self-taught videographer, graphic designer, and blogger. He built his first social media platform to share his vlogs, blogs and photos across platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and on his own website. He began studying social media strategy, content creation, marketing, analytics analysis, and more. This was the pivotal moment when Ryan Thomas dove deeply into his study of digital marketing.
Ryan began spending more time learning about digital marketing and content strategy than actually developing his own content. He received formal training in Content Strategy and Social Media Marketing. He read the latest news about the ever-changing algorithms of search engines and social platforms. He began partnering with businesses owners to help them develop websites and content strategies for their small business. His interest deepened, his skills developed, and his passion ignited.
Ryan’s focus shifted from building his own platforms to serving his partner’s. Seeing the joy and excitement in developing content for small businesses, Ryan decided to make Digital Marketing his mission – thus creating Ryan Thomas Content Creation.
