Vision Fuel Media lands partnership with Ticket Master, grows

Jason T. Ryan likes to refer to himself as a serial entrepreneur and Vision Fuel Media is his latest startup offering after working nearly 20 years in corporate and technology sales.

The Rochester-based Internet marketing firm has managed to get its feet underneath it and find some firm footing in its first two years. Ryan's expertise in social media and entrepreneurship has helped him grow his team to a handful of independent contractors and interns.

"It's been great," Ryan says. "We have clients of all shapes and sizes."

Among Vision Fuel Media's clients are law practices and other small businesses. The company's business has doubled in recent months and its biggest coup de client is a partnership with Ticket Master to do social media for the new NFL Ticket Exchange for this season and Super Bowl XLV. Ryan expects Vision Fuel Media to increase its manpower in 2011 as it continues to move toward bigger social media campaigns for small- and medium-sized businesses.

"I see more social media public speaking and boot camp opportunities coming up," Ryan says. "A lot of organizations are hungry to teach their members why these things are important."
