Ronalytics LLC
Founder | (August 2014 - Current)
Detailed Experience:
Founded on the principles of render, recycle, refine and repeat, Ronalytics has served over 20 startups and corporations in a variety of custom service offerings. Each client for Ronalytics is what I like to call a partner. Many agencies are formed on the principle of making top dollar on the penny in terms of their time. However for Ronalytics, I believe in taking a part of what we built and only that. Starting with the pricing methodology which incurs no fixed cost and works on a GUARANTEED revenue increase ranging to the communication funnel which allows our partners to ONLY speak with a founder and never a campaign representative, which has outlined the true definition of what it takes to work less as an agency and more as a partner with everyone we work with.
