I work inside a small number of Columbus organizations every week — businesses and nonprofits — running the marketing and communications they'd otherwise need three hires to cover.
One person. Columbus. Month to month.
Small businesses and mission-driven organizations need different things and pay for them differently, so I keep the two separate. What doesn't change is who shows up: no account manager, no handoff to a junior, no agency in between.
For owners doing their own marketing at 9pm because there's nobody else to do it.
For directors who are running the program, writing the grant, and posting to Facebook.
Three current engagements. Different sectors, same arrangement — I'm inside the organization every week rather than delivering a project and leaving.
Streaming network and staffing company
Two companies under one roof, both needing to look established while they're still being built.
Youth services nonprofit, west Columbus
A nonprofit running real programs with no communications staff. I hold the title and do the work.
Reentry organization, Columbus
A startup nonprofit that needed its entire outside-facing layer built from nothing.
There are no packages on this page because I've never sold one. Scope comes first, then a number.
First
Thirty minutes. You tell me what isn't getting done and what it's costing you. I tell you straight whether I'm the right fit — sometimes the answer is a $60 tool and a Saturday.
Then
What I'll run, what stays with you, what it costs, and what the first thirty days produce. In writing before either of us commits to anything.
Ongoing
I work your account on a set schedule every week, and you can see what came of it. Month to month, cancel with thirty days notice.
On pricing: engagements are weekly retainers scaled to scope, with project fees for one-time builds like a website or a curriculum. Nonprofit rates are lower than commercial rates, on purpose. Ad spend and software are paid by you, directly, and never marked up.
I'm Ryan Masterson. I started Masterson Marketing & AI Solutions in Columbus in 2025 to do this work directly for the kind of organizations that can't justify a full marketing hire.
I take on a small number of clients because the arrangement only works if I'm genuinely in your business every week. When you call, you get me. When something ships, I built it. That's the whole model, and it's why I'd rather have four clients I know well than forty I don't.
Everything on this page is work I'm doing right now, not a portfolio from a previous life.
Call, email, or book thirty minutes. No deck and no pitch — I'll ask what's on your plate and tell you whether I can take some of it.
