Ryan Stokes
Social Media Brand Partner, Skinny
Panellist
About Ryan
Ryan didn't want to be a marketer. He wanted to be a musician. Bored during the lockdown, he started a garage band with his parents and instantly went viral. Fame and fortune may not have followed, but he did catch the attention of the Skinny brand manager. Brought on as a community manager, Ryan failed spectacularly in that role. Within weeks, he had taken over Skinny's entire social presence. Skinny's social evolved from above-the-line campaigns cut for vertical to a channel worthy of increased investment. It has gone from strength to strength since Ryan joined, and now forms part of shaping the overall brand and marketing strategy for Skinny.
