Our Team
Collection by Rizzo Young Marketing
Meet our team! You might say we’re like a family (because we are). There’s my partner and wife Maria who is half head of the company. My sister, Caroline, is marketing management. I, Rick, am the other half head of the company. Then, there are three cats and one dog. We’ll call them lower level employees.
Other Team Outings
Des Plaines
We're so lucky to be a part of such a fun and outgoing community of people. Being a small business, it's easy to fall inot the trap of staying home and constantly working, but our community really gets us out. #Community #CommunityBuilders #Marketing #SocialMedia #SmallBusiness #DesPlaines #Event #Events #Fun #Thursday #Home

Sushi Kushi Toyo
We had a lovely evening this weekend at Sushi Kushi Toyo Thanks so much to Lee Perres (of Lee Scott Perres, PC) for the recommendation! #RYM #DigitalMarketing #DesPlaines #SocialMediaMarketing #EmailMarketing #DigitalAdvertising #SEO #PPC #SEM #Blogging #WebDesign #Sushi #DateNight #Executive #LakeForest #SaturdayNight
A Rizzo Young Yard Sale
Even on the weekends, the hustle doesn’t stop. After moving to Des Plaines, we had tons and TONS of tools, clothes, toys, and appliances that could be put to better use elsewhere. Regardless of the blazing heat, we made sure to get out and negotiate with the good people of the Des Plaines and Chicagoland area. P.S. Because of today's rain delay, the sale continues Sunday (7/7)! #RYM #DesPlaines #Community #YardSale #EverythingMustGo
Office Life
Flexing Those PowerPoint Skills
Our marketing associate, Caroline, is helping us organize our PowerPoint for an upcoming Realtor seminar. The topic of conversation? Marketing Towards Senior Citizens. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. The PowerPoint, not the marketing. 😉 #RYM #RealtorMarketing #PowerPointSkills #TargetMarket #KnowYourAudience #DigitalMarketing #DesPlaines #Chicago #DigitalAgency #MarketingAgency #Marketing #SMM #SEO #PPC #SEM #SocialMedia #WebDesign #EmailMarketing #DigitalAdvertising…

Succeed with More
Tons of great questions from the audience as well. Probably going to incorporate some of them into upcoming blogs from our website. If there's one takeaway from today, it should be that whether your marketing towards the Silent Generation or Generation Z, building a brand requires consistency. #RYM #DigitalMarketing #RealEstate #Branding #SMM #MondayMotivation #GenerationalMarketing #SilentGeneration #BabyBoomers #DigitalStrategy #EchoBoomers #Millennials #DownersGrove #Marketing #SEO #SEM
Legal Ethics, Influencers, & Social Media Marketing
Big thank you to Danielle Garno and Erin McAdams Franzblau for taking the time to educate us on legal ethics, influencers, and social media marketing last week. While we aren't attorneys, we do work with them, and I know they probably wouldn't be too happy if their clients wound up sabotaging themselves during a litigation proceeding. #RYM #LegalEthics #SocialMedia #InfluencerMarketing #SMM #AttorneyMarketing #ClientManagement #Litigation #LawyerMarketing #SocialMediaMarketing…
