Founder and strategic lead
Our story
Built in Florida. Evolving with the work.
Founded in Fort Myers in 2019, RPM began with strategy, positioning and marketing. Its work expanded across brand and digital experience, acquisition, local presence and campaign execution.
From 2025 onward, AI and automation became more central to RPM’s work, alongside CRM, platforms and digital systems. This is an evolution of the agency’s marketing and business work, not a claim that RPM began as an AI company.
RPM connects strategy, creative, media and technology around the needs of each business.
