ABOUT

Our goal is simple - you WILL know our clients.

It’s tough to accurately describe the difference between a traditional media or marketing firm, and our team here at Disruptive. Yes, we operate on all the same social platforms as the other guys, we all tote around Apple laptops, and we all put our pants on the same way when we get out of bed in the morning. It’s just that after we here at Disruptive put our pants on, we exude absolute excellence.

With almost 40 years of combined experience between Ryan and Brit, we’ve got the unique advantage of being old enough to have ‘seen it all’ since the ‘80s, but remain young enough to still be bussin’, no cap.

BRIT COLBY

Chief Culture Officer & Dynamo of Diction

MEET BRIT

Brit has a rather eclectic background and ended up taking a slightly more ‘scenic’ route toward a marketing career compared to Ryan. Starting young with a passion for reading and writing, these continued to be major strengths for her as she made her way through school. With the encouragement of several credible sources including her mom who said she argued too damn much, Brit attended college at Frostburg State with a major in pre-law. Regretfully, this did not spark joy. She packed herself up began a gig doing marketing, purchasing, and SEO for Off The Deep End, a kitschy family company who was the nation’s top seller of the Pink Plastic Lawn Flamingo (you’re welcome, Florida) amongst other fun novelty items. She then went on to test her skillset directing marketing and content creation at BlackBag Technologies, a software company heavily involved in sales to international, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. This was incredibly educational, as it came during a time where the number of social platforms available for marketing was rapidly expanding. Since 2016, she’s overseen the marketing for two of her own companies, Hearty Pet and Ship Simply.
