Work with Ryan Meetup
Brand collaborations are built with you, not sold off a rate card. Bring us the Ryan moment you want to make—an event sponsorship or an idea that needs its own format—and we will scope it and price it together.
Three ways to back the Ryans
Pick the support level that fits
Every tier helps keep Ryan Meetup active, welcoming, and increasingly difficult to explain to non-Ryans. We will talk through the best fit before anything starts.
Community Backer
A low-commitment way for local and Ryan-owned businesses to show their support.
- Standard logo in the Monthly Backers grid, linked to your website
- Short company description beneath your roster logo
- Plain-text newsletter recognition when the monthly newsletter is active

Operations Partner
Consistent multi-channel visibility that helps keep Ryan Meetup running.

Ask a RyanNewsletter benefits begin when the monthly newsletter is actively publishing. Monthly Backers receive visibility, not dedicated email blasts or access to private community spaces.
Reach & proof
Why this makes sense for your brand
Ryan Meetup combines audience reach, in-person turnout, and a growing local footprint rather than a single isolated placement. For brands looking beyond standard corporate sponsorship inventory, our distinct voice and internet presence can create a more memorable kind of visibility.

Tell us what the brand wants to accomplish
There is no budget gate and no minimum to clear. Tell us what you want to build and we will figure out the scope and the pricing together. If you would rather just support the Ryans, Monthly Backers is the simpler path.

What are we building?
Event sponsorships put your brand in the room where Ryans actually gather, from national events to local chapter meetups. Custom collaborations give a strong idea room to become something else entirely.
Event Sponsorship
Anchor a Ryan Meetup event with boots-on-the-ground engagement, physical visibility, and the content that comes out of it.
Typically includes
- A named presence at a national event or a local chapter meetup
- On-site signage, giveaways, or a product moment built into the night
- Inclusion in the recap photos, video, and social coverage
- A verbal thank-you to the room from the Ryan running the event
Best for
Brands that want to show up where Ryans gather
Custom Brand Collaboration
Bring us an idea that does not fit neatly into an event format and we will scope the strongest version together.
Typically includes
- A format invented for the campaign—a challenge, a series, a one-off spectacle
- Creative scoped with your team before anything gets priced
- Content and press built around the idea instead of bolted onto it
- Timing and market chosen to fit the brand's calendar
Best for
Brands with a specific campaign idea or activation

Possible ingredients
Scope the pieces that serve the idea
These are possibilities, not a promise that every campaign includes everything. The final package depends on the format, timeline, audience, and brand goals.
On-site Visibility
Physical signage, branded materials, giveaways, or merchandise when they support the event experience.
Shareable Content
Integration into event storytelling, recap video, or a larger digital media push built around the concept.
Social Visibility
Campaign-specific Instagram or TikTok inclusion scoped around the audience, format, and creative fit.
Press Storytelling
Press release inclusion and media-story support when the activation has a strong public-interest angle.
RyanMeetup.com
A visible campaign or sponsor presence across the parts of RyanMeetup.com included in the final scope.
Local Relevance
City, chapter, or regional alignment when a brand wants to meet Ryans in a particular market.
From brief to big Ryan energy
What happens next
Step 01
Share the idea
Tell us the brand, the idea, the goal behind it, and your timing. No budget gate and no fixed rate card to squeeze into.
Step 02
Scope the fit
A Ryan reviews the brief and, when the fit is strong, works with your team on the activation, the deliverables, and what it should cost.
Step 03
Confirm the partnership
We align on the final scope, agreement, payment schedule, production needs, and measurement plan.
Step 04
Bring it to life
Both teams execute the agreed plan without turning the Ryan community into an advertising feed.
Community first, even when a brand is involved
A partnership can help create something memorable. It cannot buy access to the people who make Ryan Meetup worth showing up for.
No inbox takeovers
We do not sell dedicated sponsor email blasts or turn the newsletter into a standalone ad.
No paid access to the community
We do not sell Discord access, member lists, contact information, or permission to cold-message Ryans.
No unfiltered sales pitches
We do not hand over the mic, the feed, or an event agenda for a brand to run an unrelated pitch.
No pay-to-praise coverage
A partnership does not buy editorial control, guaranteed positive coverage, or a testimonial we do not believe.
Every collaboration has to add to the Ryan experience—not interrupt it, extract from it, or make the community feel like the product.
