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!
