Each year at our Global Convention, WSI honors members of our network who have made significant contributions to our community and shown an unwavering commitment to helping businesses grow through digital marketing. During our 2023 Global Convention in Punta Cana, we were proud to recognize Ryan Kelly as the recipient of the Nick Lattanzio Lifetime Achievement Award.
Based in Santa Rosa, California, Ryan joined the WSI network in 2008 and has been a steady and respected presence ever since. With a passion for solving complex digital marketing challenges and a deep focus on client success, Ryan has helped countless businesses navigate the evolving digital landscape.
Ryan is recognized not only for his exceptional performance but also for the thoughtful and strategic approach he takes to each client relationship. His calm leadership, deep expertise, and consistent results have earned him the respect of his peers and the trust of his clients.
"Ryan is a quiet force in the WSI network. He leads by example, always focused on doing what’s right for his clients and building strong, long-term partnerships," said Valerie Brown-Dufour, President of WSI. "His contributions to our network over the past 15 years are a testament to his professionalism, character, and dedication. This award is a small reflection of the big impact he’s had."
The award was presented at the WSI Global Convention, held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, from May 4 to 6, 2023. WSI celebrated the accomplishments of its top-performing agencies, partners, and individuals.
