When we first collaborated with Outcomes. Not Ideas., their immediate understanding stood out. Our product was initially just a concept outlined in a PowerPoint and some spreadsheets. Now, thanks to their stewardship, we possess a distinct brand, a resonant message, and a product identity that is consistently reflected throughout our team, our platform, and our messaging that we are proud of! Ryan's dynamism, coupled with his knack for gathering insights, fosters a conducive atmosphere for brainstorming and shaping ideas. The net result: A simple but definitive brand message, and a complete "play-book" that we live by. Thanks, Ryan.

Outcomes. Not Ideas. cares about our brand as their own. They did a great job in helping launch our brand and deliver excellent client service.

Our team wanted to create a video piece that we could share with our entire school community about reuniting back at school after months of being off because of the covid-19 pandemic. The moment we reached out to Outcomes. Not Ideas, and they were super responsive, friendly and eager to help.

The biggest win has been starting from the ground up — building systems and processes so the business can run more efficiently. Before, things were reactive and inconsistent. Now, there’s a solid structure that supports growth and makes day-to-day operations smoother. One of the hardest challenges I faced was hiring. I had never done it before and honestly didn’t know where to start. With Ryan’s leadership, I gained the confidence to approach the process, make decisions, and trust myself as a leader. It felt like moving from hesitation to ownership. If I was having a pint with someone thinking about working with Outcomes.

It’s uncomfortable at times, but exactly what you need to move forward.

Ryan is an absolute all-star. Never have I ever experienced a branding journey like the one I took with him and his team. His ability to take my story, my business, my desired impact and my vibe and blend it into a tangible and scalable message and image was a display of mastery. I recommend Outcomes. Not Ideas. to all of my friends, colleagues and associates because you will not find another human out there that brings the same raw, real, honest integrity to the plate... Especially one that will match it with the talent.

Working with Ryan is not a marketing or branding experience; it's an act of him pulling the soul out of your business and leveraging it to accomplish all of your personal and professional goals. I cannot recommend this man enough. Thanks, Ry, you're a master of your craft.

Working with the team at Outcomes. Not Ideas. exceeded my expectations. I started this journey with the assumption that they would take care of the basic branding needs that my business required. What I didn’t realize was that I would come away with a brand that I was so proud to showcase. From the first point of contact all the way to through this process, I felt taken care of. The team took all the aspects of my business and brought it to life in a way that I never could and the only way that was possible was through a thorough discovery process. The team wanted to know where I came from, who I was and how I ran my business. From this point on the team worked tirelessly to give my business what it needed in a timeline that I didn’t think was possible. If anyone out there is looking for help in this space, then you couldn’t be in better hands. They are attentive, patient, hardworking and have a deep knowledge of what it takes to build a successful brand that speaks to who you are. I will recommend this team to my entire network. Thank you again. Keep putting your clients first!

I’ve been in a senior management position with several large beverage alcohol companies, such as Bacardi and PMA, over the last 20+ years. In that time, I’ve hired and worked with many different characters. Ryan came to me when he was freshly out of high school. I hired him in a sales-merchandising role, which he excelled in. I knew there was something special there, but he needed to go get an education to be a more well-rounded asset. He immediately enrolled in BCIT. While a BCIT, he didn’t just attend, he got involved in everything, adding value to the students around him. Again, a sign of what was to come. After graduation, he started off in sales and marketing positions in the beverage game and hospitality sector, and then finally, I had an opening and snatched him up immediately in an on-premise sales role. We saw immediate results in his B.C. territory, not only with listings and volume but more importantly with building trusting relationships with key buyers, accounts, and decision makers. His approach was always to determine how the best interests of everyone could be achieved. Ryan is a visionary, an idea guy. He’d often come into my office with big picture ideas that were beyond a rep’s typical acumen. I saw quickly that he was a marketing guy in a sales rep’s role. I knew the creative side was where he was truly going to blossom. Also, I knew he was going to be his own boss sooner than later, and the sooner is exactly where things headed. Ryan’s experience carrying a bag gives him firsthand knowledge of what actually happens in the trade and marketplace. This is what separates him from typical marketers! Ryan and his Outcomes. Not Ideas. team are a sure-fire bet to get an organization headed in the right direction.

Ryan is the consummate professional. Through the years and over many projects, I have come to know him as an extremely dedicated individual with a sharp focus on harmonious outcomes and positive results. Ryan's ability to carefully listen to the needs of a project, combines flawlessly with his smart, actionable and strategic approach at every stage of the game. He is a dream to collaborate with, and I not only recommend him without hesitation, but I also look forward to many more exciting projects with him on our team.
