About Ryan Mae Sweeney

Built on heart. Driven by purpose. Rooted in Hawaii.

I started Aster Marketing because I believed — and still believe — that every business deserves a real shot. Not just the ones with deep pockets or big teams behind them. The passionate entrepreneur building something from scratch. The minority-owned business that's been overlooked. The female founder who has the vision but not yet the tools. Those are the people I built this for.

For too long, meaningful marketing support has been gated behind agency fees that only the largest companies can afford. Aster Marketing was created to change that equation. I personally handle the majority of the work — and when a client's needs call for additional expertise, I hand-select fully vetted independent contractors who are the right fit for that specific business. No bloated retainers. No generic playbooks. Just smart, strategic, customized work that actually moves the needle.

What sets me apart is something you won't find at most marketing agencies: I bring equal fluency in both marketing and sales. Having spent significant time selling and managing sales teams, I understand how the two disciplines must work together to produce real results. I design marketing that doesn't just look good — it feeds your pipeline, supports your sales process, and helps close deals. That's the Aster difference.

I'm also accessible. Genuinely, practically accessible — at all hours, for the conversations that matter. Building a relationship with my clients isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole point.
