Hello, my name is Janelle Ryan… I’m a marketing strategist, storyteller, and the founder of The Disruption HQ
My career started behind the camera, working in digital media production with major brands and networks. That experience taught me how powerful a well-told story can be. Over time, that passion evolved into something bigger: helping businesses find the right words, the right strategy, and the right content to connect with their audience in a meaningful way.
Today, I work at the intersection of strategy and storytelling. I’ve spent 15+ years helping organizations grow through marketing, community partnerships, content creation, and brand positioning. I love getting into the nitty gritty of a business, uncovering what makes it unique, and turning that insight into marketing that actually moves the needle.
The Disruption HQ was built for service-based businesses, purpose-driven brands, and entrepreneurial creatives who know they have something special but need clarity on how to communicate it. My approach is simple: cut through the noise, get clear on the strategy, and create assets that bring your brand to life.
I believe the best marketing doesn’t just sell something, it tells a story, builds trust, and connects people in a real way. That belief sits at the heart of everything I do. When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me dancing my heart out, bike riding, traveling abroad, creating content, writing stories, or spending time with the people who matter most to me.
