About Ryan & Chris
Lifelong friends Ryan Berry & Chris Anders complete the Oak & Ivy team. After growing up together in West Liberty, Ohio, Ryan and Chris blazed their own trails and developed unique skill sets in their respective work forces after college.
Ryan spent a decade running corporate retail stores before moving back to his hometown in 2012. Well-known in the area for his way with technology and computers, Ryan immediately started receiving phone calls from the locals to help them with their new gadgets. The lack of quality computer repair businesses in the area inspired Ryan to purchase a "Computer Repair" sign and stick it in his front yard. Before long, Ryan's new side hustle was filling his schedule. He decided to take the plunge into full entrepreneurship by starting his own business, Berry Digital Solutions. |
Entrepreneurship was a perfect fit for Ryan. In addition to his natural way with technology at a very young age, Ryan was also born to be an entrepreneur. In school, Ryan's locker often doubled as his first storefront. Classmates would gladly purchase sticks of gum for a quarter or donuts for a dollar. (Little did they know, Ryan had earlier paid a quarter for the whole pack of gum and a spent a couple of bucks for a dozen donuts to turn a nice profit every day.)
It wasn't long before Ryan's natural abilities with technology and entrepreneurship paid off in his new business venture. Soon, his computer repair clients were interested in other "digital solutions", and Ryan knew just the person to help him expand his business.
Chris and Ryan remained in constant communication. While Ryan was building Berry Digital Solutions, Chris was trying to find a balance between his career, continuing education requirements and a new family with 2 boys under the age of 2 at home. Things were going well, but every day, Chris was reminded of Ryan's new freedom and flexibility. Becoming your own boss and breaking free of the chains of the corporate world is a feeling unlike any other, and Chris became more and more inspired by Ryan's journey into entrepreneurship.
As Ryan's need for more digital solutions increased, so did Chris' desire to control his own destiny. In 2015, the lifelong friends finally took the plunge into an official partnership, and Berry Digital Solutions LLC was born. With over a decade of experience building and maintaining websites, social media presences, and digital properties, Chris took over and expanded that enterprise for BDS. Ryan continued some computer repair, but primarily began building a local network of subcontractors and local experts in order to provide any digital solutions for any small business in the area. Berry Digital Solutions LLC became the one-stop shop for any small business or organization looking to get off the ground or grow.
Ryan and Chris bring that same blend of expertise and entrepreneur spirit to Oak & Ivy. They've seen the difference that a well-choreographed social media plan can make to a small business. They understand that there are only so many hours in a day, so in order to grow as a small business, the owners need to delegate or even completely release some duties to others. Thus, freeing the small business owner to focus on their product, service or other aspects of the business that needs more attention to help the business continue to grow. That's where Oak & Ivy's team can help. Trust the experts to handle your business' social media presence, and free up your focus for other aspects of the business, like how are you going to handle all of the extra sales generated once Oak & Ivy takes over your social media?
