Ryan Bates
Social Media Strategist and Photographer in San Diego, California
When it comes to social media, Ryan is data-driven and an expert in each platform. In 2009, his passion for technology led him to create Mobiture—a one-stop source for the latest news and reviews in mobile technology. It was featured on many prominent technology blogs including Engadget, Gizmodo and 9to5mac. Paired with its accompanying YouTube channel, Mobiture amassed over 3 million views.
Through brand partnerships and the success of his blog, Ryan began working as the Social Media Platform & Process Expert for Sony Electronics in 2014. His love for sunshine and great weather ultimately led him back to sunny San Diego where he worked with some of the top agencies in southern California. During this time he's had the opportunity to work with a strong portfolio of clients to help them grow their brands and drive conversions. He recently launched his own social advertising shop, Future Is Media which takes a Facebook first approach to paid media and social media marketing.
