Hello, I'm Ria, the founder of Concepts by Ria: a marketing and branding studio focused on helping businesses build strong, scalable identities and grow with intention.
I work with startups and emerging brands to go beyond just “posting content” and instead develop clear positioning, cohesive branding, and strategic marketing systems that actually drive results.
A few of the services I provide are:
• Brand development & positioning
• Building marketing strategies
• Public relations direction & brand image
• Content creation
• Digital presence management
I have hands-on experience across platforms like Instagram, Youtube, Pinterest, which allows me to translate brand strategy into content that performs without losing the bigger picture.
I graduated from the University of Houston in May 2024 with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Sales. From earning this degree, I have learned how to bring both a creative and analytical approach to every project, combining modern trends with structured strategy.
If you're a business looking for more than just surface-level marketing and want to build a brand that’s clear, intentional, and positioned to grow, I’d love to work with you!

I manage social media, build content strategies, and run Meta Ads for brands that want stronger visibility, engagement, leads, and customer acquisition. My approach brings organic content and paid campaigns together so both sides support the same business goals.
Over the past several years, I’ve managed $500K+ in ad spend and worked across eCommerce, restaurants, healthcare, real estate, hospitality, and service businesses. I’ve also completed 120+ projects on Upwork while maintaining Top Rated Plus status and a 100% Job Success Score.
What I do:
✅ Social media management across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn & YouTube
✅ Content strategy, content calendars, captions, scheduling & publishing
✅ Social media content creation, short-form content & engagement strategy
✅ Community management, audience growth & performance reporting
✅ Meta Ads, Facebook Advertising & Instagram Ad campaigns
✅ Prospecting, retargeting, audience targeting & campaign optimization
✅ Lead generation and new customer acquisition campaigns
✅ Meta Pixel, Conversions API, GA4 & conversion tracking
✅ Google Ads and performance marketing campaigns
A restaurant client came to me after spending on paid campaigns that brought in customers some weeks and nothing the next. We rebuilt the campaign structure, tightened audience targeting, and improved the creative strategy. The result was 885 reservations at $6.08 each, at a return on ad spend the business could continue scaling.
That’s generally how I approach marketing: understand what’s actually working, identify what isn’t, and put more time and budget behind the things the data supports.
What working with me looks like:
You don’t need one person managing your social media and another running paid campaigns without either knowing what the other is doing. I can support both your organic content and paid acquisition so the messaging, audiences, creative direction, and business goals stay aligned.
You’ll get clear communication, practical recommendations, and reporting in plain English. If something isn’t working, I’ll tell you rather than letting it continue just to keep a campaign running.
Campaign & tracking tools I work with include Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, TikTok Ads Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Conversions API, Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Hootsuite, Buffer, Canva, Photoshop, and Zapier.
One client described working with me as a “one-stop shop” for their business growth — covering Shopify and Amazon integration, Meta Ads, social media marketing, and TikTok Shop setup.
If your social media isn’t gaining traction, your paid campaigns aren’t converting consistently, or you simply need someone who can bring strategy and execution together, tell me what’s not working. I’ll tell you where I see the biggest opportunity and what I’d focus on first.

About Me:
I started my agency with $250 in high school and scaled it to one of the leading performance-focused firms in the NYC tri-state area. I’ve worked across nearly every industry, giving me a deep understanding of how to structure campaigns, offers, messaging, and funnels that convert, not just “get clicks.”
