Ryan O. Emge

“Ryan has been a great partner in our work to roll out LinkedIn Elevate, an employee advocacy solution, across White & Case. Ryan was instrumental in the success of this program by communicating the business value to key stakeholders as well as the value to the users, which is critical for driving adoption. Ryan thinks proactively and creatively to incorporate the program into existing channels and provides thoughtful product feedback to our team. ”

“Ryan has been instrumental in the deployment and rollout of LinkedIn's Sales & Marketing Solutions. Having worked together to leverage the power of Sales Navigator at White & Case, Ryan has familiarized himself with its many facets to advise and educate internal stakeholders, and continue to lead the digital transformation within the firm. White & Case consistently ranks highly in the Social Law Firm Index - in my opinion much of this success can be attributed Ryan's knowledge and execution of their digital initiatives.”

“Ryan has taken our digital marketing efforts to the next level. I regularly refer to Ryan as our "social media guru"and put him in front of partner leaders to describe to them the value propositions of our LinkedIn platforms as succinctly and impactfully as possible. In rolling out Sales Navigator to our partners, Ryan has delivered on a major strategic priority by helping us deepen and broaden our client relationships. He has also helped advance our lawyers as social influencers and thought leaders through his successful messaging around, and resulting high adoption rate of, LinkedIn Elevate. I would recommend Ryan to any organization looking to raise its brand profile and elevate its social media presence. ”

“Although he was with us for a short time, Ryan was able to deliver major impact in helping to advance our social influencer marketing programs. Ryan brings deep industry knowledge, quick insights, and a can do attitude to his work and has been an essential part of evolving our digital marketing efforts. I would recommend Ryan to any organization looking for top digital marketing and social media talent. ”

“Ryan has a beaming positive attitude and is very kind to the colleagues around him. I worked with Ryan on the execution of Facebook paid media campaigns for eBay motors, and he always took the time to clearly communicate the campaign objectives and deliver the necessary requirements on time, if not early. He made the campaign execution process very easy because he was extremely organized and was able to coordinate across multiple teams.”

“Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with during our time working together at eBay. He always had a positive attitude and would do whatever it took to get the job done. I was always impressed with the thorough approach Ryan took to planning and his ability to look at every way possible to amplify a program or initiative via social and marketing channels. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable of the social and digital marketing industry and knows how to execute successful campaigns from start to finish.”

“Ryan was responsive to my outreach on behalf of our client Magellan GPS. He conducted a thorough interview about the product announcement and did an excellent post on their social media links. Magellan was very pleased and set up links to Ryan's work on their social media sites. It gave them a new perspective on EBay. We appreciate his views and timely follow-up.

His can-do attitude makes him a great asset to any team. I've especially appreciated Ryan's work ethic when it comes to solving business problems or tasks that aren't necessarily within his scope. He'll do whatever he can to help out, which not only helps to get things done, but pays off in spades by instilling a great team culture.”

“Ryan served as my direct supervisor while at the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). In the role, he served as both an enthusiastic proponent of social media and knowledgeable supervisor. Specifically, he had the ability to manage multiple tasks at once, coordinating communications and outreach to high-profile member companies. Ryan educated me in social media best practices, and brought considerable knowledge to the social media marketing of the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. Finally, thanks to Ryan's supervision and skill set, I succeeded not only within my organizational role at CEA, but honed the skills necessary to succeed in future professional roles in the industry.”

“Great to work with and he definetly knows social media. Bonus that he understand some Swedish.”

“I worked with Ryan on the Chrysler Group LLC blog sites. His management and dedication to all the details required to maintain the blog sites was excellent. His ability to absorb the creative and brand requirements and manage them down to the application code level was something I have never seen before. He is definitely a leader in managing social media and a pleasure to work with through the good and difficult times.”

“I worked with Ryan on a brief project and during that time he was extremely adept and informed on the Saab business - past and present. With that particular wealth of knowledge and his expertise in social networking, Ryan was a critical business partner.”

“Ryan Emge and SaabHistory.com is an independent of sorts whose has taken the responsibility to diligently work to revitalize the Saab brand image in and surrounding the Northeast region with assistance with Saab promotions, Promotional events, Marketing and ascertaining Saab promotional partners. I have been working with Ryan and Saab History now for almost three years on many different aspects of creative marketing and promotions through a primary sponsorship of his Saab History site. Within the last few years dramatic and permanent changes to the corporate design and internal workings of the Saab brand, its marketing, advertising, historical knowledge and the engulfing passion and commitment from its employees have occurred. Ryan has spent countless hours supporting this brand through his website. The website itself has heaps of historical none replaceable mementos of Saab and its history. He has spent this time supporting Saab and forewent a normal job for normal income because of his belief and passion for Saab. During the wind down phase of Saab during the GM time period, Ryan did his best to educate the public on what he believed would be important. I believe Ryan is a valuable asset to the Saab organization or any organization and with proper guidance would be a very valuable asset to any organization using his immense skills in the internet, social media and all related marketing possibilities.”

“I am writing to provide my support of Ryan Oliver Emge’s application for employment. Ryan is an ambitious, knowledgeable professional who demonstrated his commitment to sustainability in part by attending the University of Vermont Sustainable Business Program offered annually each summer. Through that program Ryan developed a solid understanding of the fundamentals of sustainability and skills to effectively apply what he learned. This program was an excellent complement to the first-hand experiences he has had in various professional positions, the most recent of which was focused directly on clean-energy and the challenges and opportunities for connecting our transportation system to the grid. Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience with Ryan and the ways in which he was able to distinguish himself through UVM’s Sustainable Business Program. Sincerely, Matt Sayre Director, Institute for Global Sustainability The University of Vermont”

“I know Ryan professionally and personally, and I’ve always been impressed by his enthusiasm and passion for doing things right. He worked for me at the Boston Auto Show, and he was thoroughly professional, always upbeat and made an excellent impression with visitors. He has a knack for engaging consumers or clients with his friendly manner and well-researched expertise. I highly recommend Ryan, and I know he would make a solid contribution in a variety of roles through high creativity, determination and hard work.”

“I met Ryan as he was developing the very comprehensive and successful saabhistory.com website. I recall that he was very dedicated to and passionate about the Saab brand. He worked tirelessly to create an easy to use, one-stop-shopping experience for everything one ever wanted to know about the Saab brand. As I was new to the brand, I used it quite often as a reference. It helped me better understand Saab's history, continued strengths, opportunities, etc. which ultimately helped me do my job better. Even though I no longer work at Saab, I look at saabhistory.com occassionally to keep up on what's new. Thanks Ryan and keep up the good work!”

“Ryan was very good to work with when we developed the 2007 Saab Owners Convention in Michigan. With a limited budget, he developed an outstanding historical video series that was broadcast throughout the weekend (and throughout the facility) and was enjoyed by nearly all of the attendees. I would hire him again if the opportunity came up.”

“Mr. Emge is spearheading what could possibly be the largest and most significant grassroots marketing campaign ever undertaken by an individual for an automobile manufacturer. The work he has done in cooperation with Saab Automobile USA in bringing vehicle debuts as well as consumer-focused relevant news about the Saab owner community as a whole represents a fine application of new media. I highly recommend Ryan as a talented journalist, videographer and photographic journalist on the basis of his work with Saab History over the past couple of years.”
