Ryan Pratt’s References
“Ryan is a smart, adaptable and skilled multi-channel marketer. At the same time he is kind, humble thoughtful and funny. His skills range from writing copy and code to leading design and strategy. He is always willing to explore new ways of approaching business. Ryan would be a valuable marketing asset in any organization.”
Shelly Stotzer, Talent Strategist & Growth-Oriented Executive Leader
“Ryan was great to work with when developing www.mightypetunia.com. Having someone with his expertise in SEO definitely helped me launch in a much better position and yielded great results.”
Cathy Gainer, VP Sales, Mighty Petunia
"From my first few weeks on the job, I have felt very fortunate to have Ryan as part of the MBA Focus marketing team. He is dedicated, knowledgeable, and capable of producing a large volume of work. Ryan’s output over the past year was voluminous, to say the least. The level of activity in the marketing 'department' (a two-person team) increased dramatically in 2012, with needed product launch activities, ongoing social and channel marketing, content creation, and the implementation of a marketing automation platform. Being a small, entrepreneurial firm, we are all forced to wear many hats and at times perform work that is above—or below—our skill level. Throughout the year, Ryan remained positive and flexible, demonstrating a 'whatever it takes' attitude. Ryan’s ability to generate a high volume of work (and respond to an incessant stream of ad-hoc requests) makes him an incredible asset to MBA Focus. He is great to work with, maintaining a disciplined, calm, and positive attitude. Ryan is results-driven, growth-oriented, and a skilled marketer intent on learning and continuous improvement. He is constantly reading, exploring, and looking for ways to increase his marketing knowledge and skill set. This characteristic makes him not only a joy to work with but also a major contributor in achieving company objectives. It has been my pleasure working with such an intelligent, creative, resourceful, and innovative marketing colleague."
Janice Rapp, CEO, TalentRooster
“Ryan is that rare kind of young person who blends energy, enthusiasm and maturity in a way that delivers predictable and positive results day in and day out. For our web startup - LisAfterList.com - he came in as fresh-faced graduate of the Ohio State University College of Journalism and immediately distinguished himself, In less than a yea he has already expanded his responsibilities to include not just editorial content, but also site promotion, intern and end-user recruiting, and advertising and revenue generation. He is someone who is comfortable taking on new roles and challenges, and it has been a pleasure to work with him.”
John Edwards, Founder, ListAfterList.com
“Ryan is a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable with regards to online and social media marketing, hard working, and always willing to lend a hand. His proactive nature results in a thorough analysis of what needs to get done and his passion for his work results in high quality and timely results. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to improve both their inbound and outbound marketing capabilities.”
Brooke Paul, Managing Director, Capital Informatics, Ltd.
“Ryan Pratt first came to our company, ListAfterList.com, several years ago as an intern from The Ohio State University. His performance at ListAfterList was outstanding and he continues to help on a consulting basis. Don't know what we would do without him. His writing skills are excellent and he has the gift of figuring out things on his own. He is a self taught web writer and marketing expert. In addition to his work at ListAfterList, Ryan is also the Movie Examiner at Examiner.com. He has quite a following there. He claims (and is) both a movie and an outdoors expert. I believe him.”
Rick Blair, Chairman, ListAfterList.com
“Ryan is bright and makes significant contributions to MBA Focus especially in the areas of internet advertising, social media, email marketing and our web store.”
Jack Gainer, Chief Executive Officer, MBA Focus
“Ryan is driven, very methodical and a creative worker. Additionally, Ryan has a work ethic that is refreshing to find in people of his age group. I would highly recommend him and would request that anyone looking to hire him contact me for a reference - I feel that strong about him and his capabilities. He is a proven and reliable worker demonstrating intellect in most any task that is given him.”
David V Evans, Partner, ListAfterList.com
“Ryan is an incredibly mature and dedicated worker with keen editorial instincts. Ryan has shown an ability to work independently with little supervision and deliver incredible results, something unusual for a person of his age. Joining ListAfterList as an intern was really Ryan's first exposure to the possibilities of driving traffic and delivering creative editorial in a web environment and Ryan showed interest, dedication and passion for the process. Through his individual motivation he has shown that his capacity for problem solving and building a business is limited only by the creativity that he delivers...and he delivers. Ryan is a pleasure to work with and would be an asset in any environment.”

“I've been following Ryan's movie reviews for Examiner.com for quite some time. His observations and recommendations on new film and video releases are always spot-on, and they combine a key eye with a writer's touch.”
John Edwards, Columbus Market Director, Examiner.com
“Ryan is a wonderful National Movie Reviewer for Examiner.com. He's highly motivated, quick with original content, and witty with his style. I really enjoy his see-it, rent-it, skip-it articles. Highly recommended.”
Lori Calabrese, National Children's Books Examiner, Examiner.com
“Ryan's abilities as a reviewer are strong. With an obvious awareness of what the public wants and needs to know for their movie dollar, he provides the perfect amount of information in support of his reviews. Recent review postings cover a range of movies genres, with a knowledge that today's movie going audience is not only wide ranging, but has a wide range of interests and tastes. Well worth the moments it takes to read, I recommend Ryan's reviews, as well as his abilities as a knowledgeable movie goer, and a capable writer.”
Rori Paul, Blogger, RoriTravel's Florida
“Ryan is an excellent movie critic, and writer. He lives up to the demands of his topic, National Movie Review Examiner, by being very knowledgeable about new movies in theaters, older movies, recent, and past DVD releases, as well as the actors/actresses playing the roles. Ryan's passion shines through in his reviews, and you can count on him to provide the information needed for his readers to make informed choices in their viewing pleasures.”
Michael Velardo, Detroit Substance Abuse Examiner, Examiner.com
“Ryan is a true professional and makes an excellent addition to any writing staff. While working with Ryan for The Examiner, I personally saw how devoted he is to his craft and was truly impressed with his ability to cover news and films quickly and entertainingly. He is constantly promoting his work to build a fan base and still has time to write for a number of different publications. Ryan is extremely talented but it is his dedication that truly makes him indispensable.”
Igor Derysh, Freelance Columnist and Writer, Self-Employed
