Today we’d like to introduce you to Colin + Jordan Ridge.
Hi Colin + Jordan, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Ridge Ln was born out of a pretty pivotal season for both of us. We each came from corporate backgrounds, Jordan spent 10 years working her way up in the marketing agency world ladder, getting exposure to a wide range of disciplines because she genuinely loves learning and building things while working with clients like Motel 6, Vanity Fair Lingerie, Jack Stack BBQ, to name a few. Colin was a Senior Creative Producer at T-Mobile, leading creative and learning development initiatives at a corporate level with leaders within and outside of the T-Mobile corporation.
Ironically, part of what pushed us to make the leap was the very work Colin was doing inside corporate. He was producing career development content encouraging people to “own” their path and it sparked something. He realized he didn’t want to look back with too many “would’ve” or “should’ve” moments, so we decided to step out and build something of our own.
We launched Ridge Ln as a full-service marketing and creative agency rooted in storytelling. From the beginning, we knew we didn’t just want to be another marketing “agency”. We wanted to feel like an extension of our clients’ teams, to understand their story at a human level and help them communicate it in a way that feels authentic and impactful.
Our approach is flexible by design. We offer retainers and “buckets of hours” so clients can scale support up or down depending on what their season requires. That model reflects how we think about partnerships: not rigid, not transactional, but collaborative and adaptable.
Today, we work with a mix of keynote speakers, local businesses, hospitality groups and growing national/global brands, helping them clarify their voice, elevate their presence, and tell stories that actually resonate. At its core, Ridge Ln. is about courage, creativity, and connection. We left security to build something meaningful, and now we get to help others do the same in their own way all while delivering results that push their businesses forward in their industry.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a completely smooth road, and we wouldn’t want it to be. Leaving stable corporate careers to build Ridge Ln required a significant mindset shift. In corporate environments, there are established systems, predictable paychecks, and clearly defined roles. Entrepreneurship completely removed that safety net.
One of the biggest early challenges was learning how to wear every hat at once. Strategy, creative, sales, operations, invoicing, all of it suddenly lived on our shoulders. There were seasons of long days, uncertain months, and moments of questioning whether we had made the right decision.
There was also the emotional component of building something from scratch. When you work inside a large organization, you are contributing to a bigger machine. When you build your own company, every win and every setback feels deeply personal. We really had to grow not only as marketers and creatives, but as business owners, learning resilience, patience, and how to make decisions without a corporate playbook to lean on.
Financial uncertainty was another real hurdle. Betting on ourselves meant stepping away from steady salaries and trusting that our skills, relationships, and work ethic would be enough to build momentum.
That said, the challenges shaped Ridge Ln into what it is today. The struggles forced clarity around the type of clients we want to serve, the flexibility of our service model, and the human-centered approach we value so deeply. The road hasn’t been perfectly smooth, but it has been purposeful. And every obstacle has reinforced why we continue to choose this path.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Ridge Ln. Marketing & Creative?
Ridge Ln is a full-service marketing and creative firm built on one core belief: people connect with people, and the most powerful brands are rooted in real storytelling.
We help businesses, founders, and organizations clarify their message, elevate their brand presence, and create content that feels both strategic and deeply human. Our work spans brand strategy, creative direction, messaging, website support, social media, video production, photography, and campaign development, with a strong emphasis on content that helps brands feel real, not overly posed or sales-driven.
What we’re known for is our ability to pull the story out of a brand and turn it into something people genuinely want to engage with. We don’t just create marketing materials, we build narratives, positioning, and visuals that make people feel something and understand what a business stands for.
What sets us apart is how we partner with our clients. We don’t operate as a distant agency focused solely on deliverables. We aim to feel like an extension of our clients’ internal teams, collaborative, invested, and fully aligned with their goals. We also offer flexible service models allowing clients to scale support based on their season of business.
Brand-wise, what we’re most proud of is the identity we’ve built around trust, authenticity, and meaningful work. Ridge Ln isn’t designed to be the biggest agency in the room — it’s built to be the most aligned. We care deeply about who we work with, the stories we help tell, and the real-world impact of that work.
If there’s one thing we want readers to know, it’s that Ridge Ln exists for brands that want more than “marketing.” We exist for businesses and organizations that want to show up with clarity, confidence, and heart, and we help them build something people can feel, not just something people can scroll past. Especially in a world that is consumed by “snap culture”.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
If there’s one thing we’d love to share, it’s that building something meaningful doesn’t start with a perfect plan. It starts with courage.
We believe deeply in the power of taking the first step, even when it feels uncertain. Ridge Ln exists because we chose to bet on ourselves, and that experience has shaped how we show up for others. We know what it feels like to stand at the edge of something new, and we’re passionate about helping other business owners and leaders move forward with clarity and confidence.
Community plays a huge role in that. We’re incredibly proud to work alongside local businesses and organizations that are doing important, impactful work. There’s something powerful about helping tell the story of a founder who started in a basement, a small team with a big vision, or a company that truly cares about the people it serves. Those stories matter, and they strengthen the fabric of our local community.
At the end of the day, we don’t just believe in marketing. We believe in people. We believe in backing bold ideas, supporting local growth, and building brands that create real connection. If our work inspires even one person to take the leap, share their story, or invest more deeply in their community, then we’re doing exactly what we set out to do.
