Summary
Ryan Bates is a seasoned digital marketing manager with over a decade of experience blending creative design roots and data-driven marketing across outdoor and consumer brands. Beginning as a graphic and pre-press designer, he advanced through studio management into leadership roles where he built integrated email, web, branding, and product marketing programs that scale. Based in Rochester, NY, he combines hands-on creative chops from a B.A. in Graphic Design with practical studio operations experience to deliver cohesive brand experiences and campaign execution. A rural upbringing and a knack for tinkering with tech give him a pragmatic, problem-solving approach—he’s often the informal IT resource for colleagues and family. Outside work he channels the same attention to detail into home cooking, outdoor sports, and family adventures, which informs a collaborative, feedback-driven management style.
