Ryan Corey - A Brief Summary About Me

I'm Ryan Corey. I have lived in the Maryland / DC area my entire life (with the exception of my college years). I dream about moving south all too often though...

My Studies

I graduated from Elon University in North Carolina in 2002 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, my major concentration was in Marketing and my minor was Spanish. I credit much of my early professional development to the spectacular education I received at Elon. My years there were enhanced by an above average staff of Professors and an excellent hands-on learning experience. Throughout my years I was able to utilize the interactive learning environment and the close, personal student attention to my advantage. I chose Elon because of its reputation for providing a personal education, its beautiful campus and the fact that it was located in the wonderful state of North Carolina. As it turns out, I made the right decision as the learning environment was exactly what I needed. I feel like I left Elon well prepared to be a young professional, likely more than other circumstances or schools may have lead me to be.

My Professional Life -

As a professional I can identify my strengths as web marketing, SEO and sales and marketing management. I have management experience on both the web marketing side as well as sales team management. My greatest personal strength is my work ethic,without a doubt.

Beyond that brief summary, I have been a marketing and sales professional since June of 2002. Some of my experience includes:

Web Marketing, SEO, SMO, Planning and Implementing Scalable SEO Plans, Team SEO Project Managment

Advertising: Radio, Print, Direct Response

Sales Experience in: B2B, B2C, B2Gov, Sales Team Management

My occupation is Partner of Lead Storm Media, LLC as well as Marketing and Sales Director of a leading IT Training Company in the Washington and Baltimore area. I joined Academy of Computer Education (ACE) in late 2003. Since then the company has had its best year, every year, and in 2009 we opened a second location. I manage all marketing efforts for the company as well as the sales staff for both locations.

Web Property Growth Since 2005 I have been heavily involved in web marketing, SEO and on-line lead generation and web property growth. I am co-owner of a successful web property growth and on-line lead generation firm named Lead Storm Media. We have had amazing success with this company. In late 2005 we started our first website in the home improvement lead gen vertical. In 2008 that website reached a very respectable level of growth and was acquired. We are currently growing several other sites and are having tremendous success with those. We are fantastic at scalable SEO application. We pay close attention to web analytics and equally close attention to the discovery and growth of unique and cutting edge White Hat SEO applications that add value to our campaigns in more ways than one. Most of the "Mad Scientist" approach comes from one of my partners in Lead Storm, Jon Payne. Jon is one of the premier SEO consultants in the country.
