Ryan Prior
Head of Marketing
Modash
Head of Marketing, Modash – growth marketer who quadrupled quality signups by building an SEO‑driven inbound engine and champions authentic creator partnerships.
Ryan Prior leads marketing for Modash, an influencer marketing platform used by thousands of brands to find and manage creators. Joining the company when it was still an early‑stage SaaS, he built a content‑driven marketing engine that relied on SEO and free mini‑tools like a fake‑follower checker to attract and educate prospects. This strategy scaled Modash from €1 million to over €6 million in ARR with 100 % inbound sales and no outbound team. On podcasts and industry panels he shares the ’95/5 rule’ and emphasises that most of the market is not ready to buy, so marketers must invest in brand building long before a purchase decision. Ryan advocates authentic partnerships: as he told Buffer, "Truly authentic partnerships are rarer and more effective." He continues to experiment with content formats, invests in community, and helps other B2B SaaS marketers replicate Modash’s success.

On the journey from $1M --> $10M ARR & beyond! We grew 2.25x in 2023, despite the macro environment. So far, I'm kinda like a "Marketing Team Captain". Still very much on the field and executing, while leading a small team.
