Mumbrellacast interview: Simon Ryan on playing into the $95bn data and tech market
This week on the Mumbrellacast interview, Ryancap’s Simon Ryan joins Mumbrella’s Calum Jaspan to speak about the indie holding group one year in, the markets he’s targeting, his love of pitching, the fertile ground for startup agencies and going up against international holdcos.
More than a year on from its first acquisition of JBZ Digital, and subsequently creating its first brand, Ryvalmedia’s Simon Ryan is content with the evolution of his indie holding group, Ryancap.
With Ryvalmedia, headed up by his former Carat colleague, Joseph Pardillo, Foxcatcher by David Gaskill, and the recent launch of consultancy Tightrope with former Accenture director, Stijn De Vriendt, Ryan says that Ryancap is primed to take opportunities in the emerging tech and data space.
“You’re really looking at a $95 billion market in Australia. So it’s huge. It’s probably one of the biggest spending markets in Australia and Australian corporate history.”
