About The Founder

Mike Ray (aka Your Renegade Marketer) has extensive knowledge of event based and internet marketing promotions with over 20 years experience in the industry. He developed, ran and worked on marketing campaigns with companies including Bank of America, McDonald’s, Nokia, Target, Hewlett Packard, Anheuser Busch and others.

He started out as a successful event promoter and as his clientele base matured he was often asked to assist in finding more clients and customers for various companies and projects.

As a demand for his services grew, he founded Renegade Business Solutions, a small business marketing company specializing in internet marketing consulting.  By the beginning of 2010, it was clear that clients demanded additional services such as event based marketing, video marketing, mobile marketing, and local search solutions. Consequently, these services were added to the focus of the firm.

As the owner of a small business marketing agency, Mike handles a bit of everything – project management, sales and business development, strategy and implementation… he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty!

Mike loves marketing and thoroughly enjoys both the technical and social aspects of the business. He specializes in designing and implementing sound small business marketing strategies that produce results for clients. Hence the RBS tagline: “More Leads, More Sales, More Money”.

Mike holds a Bachelor Degree from Georgetown University, is a Member of the MIT Enterprise Forum, Wharton Club of DC, the DC Chamber of Commerce, and was a charter member of the Black Public Relations Society of America Washington, DC Chapter. He has been an officer in several community service organizations such as the Greater Washington Urban League Thursday Network, the NAACP, and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
