Ryan Lynch
Senior Account Planner
Euro RSCG

Account Planning is in Ryan's blood—literally, as he's the son of a former planner and has been attending focus groups since age eight. What started as an odd curiosity blossomed into a career that has allowed Ryan to work closely with some of the smartest people in the industry.

Currently a Senior Account Planner at Euro RSCG New York, Ryan leads strategy for AirWick, French's, Frank's Red Hot and also lends thinking to various new business adventures. Past lives spent at Y&R and Cliff Freeman blend nicely for him at Euro, as he's experienced the traditions of providing smart business solutions and creative that demands people's attention.

While proud of his thinking that led to the launch of Michelin Guide's "Famously Anonymous" campaign, he's slightly apologetic for the annoying—but successful—"Ice Cream and Cake" song he found and used for a former client, Baskin Robbins.

When not sneaking Mitch Hedberg and Jim Morrison quotes into his presentations, Ryan enjoys skiing (powder), competitive skeeball (yup), and just completed his first marathon in Chicago a few days ago (hopefully).
