“I know I should be ‘doing marketing.’ I just don’t have the time.”

That's where
I come in.

Why me

Big-agency experience. Small-town service.

I'm Rick Schettino. I live right here in Bradenton. I've spent more than 30 years in design, copywriting, and marketing, including over a decade as an Art Director at high-end agencies, and 20 years freelance helping well over 100 small businesses. Today, I'm focused on my passion —helping local businesses grow. When you partner with me, you don't get passed around to an account rep. You collaborate directly with the guy doing the work.

“I’ve enjoyed knowing and working with Rick Schettino since 1999. In the early 2000s, Rick played a key role in helping grow my home services business in Vista, CA—from a single plumbing truck to a thriving, multi-million dollar home service contracting company. Rick has remained a trusted consultant and collaborator for the past two decades. He has been instrumental in developing and evolving my software company, ReviewBuzz, which now serves over 5,000 home service businesses nationwide. Rick brings a rare mix of hands-on experience, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving. Over the years, I’ve hired him repeatedly as a freelancer and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. I rely on him for both insight and execution.” ~ Mike Montano, Owner, ReviewBuzz
