My name is Eileen Ryan and I am a marketing enthusiast, proselytizer and pusher. I think marketing is more fun than a clown on fire and let me tell you why: all you have to do is to be yourself. But bigger and probably more organized.

I learned when I was a little kid that personality sells.

At the age of ten the neighboring farmer let me plow half an acre and put in sweet corn which I sold at the Olympia Farmers’ Market. That’s when I realized customers weren’t buying corn; they could buy that anywhere. People were helping a little kid be a farmer.

Since then, I’ve been helping businesses grow by turning people onto the taste of fresh bread, the passion of reading, the challenge of the English language, gold rush triumphs and failures (mosquitoes included), new car thrills, the sun on fields of lavender and the importance of building your client base in way that reflects your professional personality.

The most important thing I’ve learned over the years is that your personality is your most important asset. Which is pretty handy since most people have one (I’m not so sure about my accountant). Whether you intend to or not, you are constantly marketing yourself. And, since you’re already marketing by default, let’s start talking about marketing with positive, to-thine-own-self-be-true intentions.

It’s my Job. It’s what I Do.
