02 / Industries and wins
From pizza shops
to winning political races.
Over the years Ryan has marketed a huge variety of businesses: restaurants, resorts, campaigns, contractors, manufacturers, clubs and software companies. Different industries, same playbook: content people want to watch, ads that reach the right people, and follow-up that never sleeps. Running for office? That playbook powers our specialty political agency, WinVotes.ai.
Restaurants and hospitality
Restaurant marketing across the Lowcountry
Ryan's first paid client was New York City Pizza. At 26 he directed digital marketing for SERG Restaurant Group's Hilton Head Island restaurants, work that earned the 2019 Eat It and Like It Foodie Award for Best Use of Social Media, and he has worked with independent restaurants from Daufuskie Island to Savannah. His hospitality management degree from USCB means he speaks fluent covers, comps, and table turns.

Tap The Table
Ryan turned what he learned in Lowcountry kitchens into Tap The Table, software built to serve restaurants anywhere in the world. When COVID closed dining rooms and many restaurants had no way to take to-go orders, he gave restaurants access to the platform for free.
Hotels and resorts
Hotel and resort marketing, Hilton Head to Florida
Ryan's career started inside an oceanfront Hilton Head resort, first as a manager and later in revenue management, so he markets hotels knowing exactly how rooms get sold. He has worked with Hilton Head Island hotels and with independent resorts along the Florida coast from Daytona Beach down to Fort Myers.

Political campaigns
Winning Beaufort County campaigns since 2022
In 2022, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner tapped Ryan to run the social media for his re-election campaign. Tanner won, and that campaign became the blueprint for WinVotes.ai, Ryan's political marketing platform.
In 2026, WinVotes.ai and BaggottsBOTs built SEO campaign websites, short-form video, paid social and AI follow-up for five more winners: Beaufort County Sheriff, Hilton Head Island Town Council, Beaufort County School Board, and two Beaufort County Council seats. Several were first-time candidates when the work began.
