Ryan has been on the digital marketing scene for the last decade, working closely as a strategic consultant, account manager and analytics advisor for small bricks and mortar businesses all the way up to global 100 industrial manufacturers. In 2015 he officially incorporated Fungi, now one of the top marketing agencies in Greensboro and the greater Triad.

He is passionate about bringing a scientific approach to marketing, combined with “fun” ideas to help companies better track the effectiveness of their overall sales efforts. He loves collaborating with the team and with clients to help them grow in new ways, much like mushrooms and other fungi spread to cover a forest floor.

Having worked for both small marketing agencies and in-house creative teams, Lori Hill brings a unique perspective to Fungi that balances design thinking with marketing in the same flowchart. She has an educational background in advertising and graphic design, and soon it will include business administration with a concentration in marketing.

In her spare time, you’ll likely catch Lori reading, hanging out with her husband, attempting to keep her pet plants in good health, downing her third sizable cup of coffee, or avoiding the semicolon like the plague. She’s a Gemini, enjoys cloudy days, and hogs the guacamole.

Julie’s life experiences run the gamut, from the furniture industry to the legal field to web design and internet marketing. Since 1998, she’s been helping clients navigate the shallow end of the technical pool whether their issues were website or email related. When she isn’t helping build an online presence for clients, she works on her family tree, tracing elusive ancestors whom she is certain came to America from Mars.
