Bio. Ryan McNeary

Ryan McNeary, Business Strategist, is not your typical marketing professional. Rather, he is a brand visionary, consumer activist and product development specialist who just happens to be marketing manager. For Ryan, the brand and the consumer are truly intertwined as the team that will map out the future together. As companies continue to search for that next product or step in their development, all you really have to do is look at what the consumer is already doing in the marketplace for your direction. The greatest lessons that he has been taught by two landmark media companies is to listen closely and move with passion when you make a decision.

For more than a decade, Ryan’s talents have been fine tuned by companies like America Online and Scripps Networks. Although on the surface you would think these companies built success on huge investments and research the truth is they listened to the consumer chatter and Ryan continues that path.

As the Vice President of Programming and Business Development for Scripps Networks (Shop at Home), he developed and managed the Programming Department mission of providing a strategic direction from product to broadcast that creates a single vision and complete solution to the consumer. Scripps Property Integration, Product Development and Demonstration, Talent Integration, Customer Identification, Look and Feel, Show Development, Promo’s on and off air, and New Show Development were just a few of the tasks he and his team took on everyday.

From 1998 thru 2003, Ryan held a variety of positions with America Online. “This was a time of development in my career that will forever change my perspective of consumer interaction.” As with many AOL projects, he was given the opportunity to look inside the crystal ball even though technology was not quite ready. As part of the team that launched products like AOLTV, AOL Mobile Communicator, DSL and the dreaded Pop Up, Ryan was taught to “follow the lead of your audience”. Technology does not lead the way – the consumer does and he has been well versed in the ability to understand this principle.
