Mark builds businesses.
Dylan builds audiences.
RyzeUp is for founders who need both.
A new advertising agency built for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who refuse to choose — who refuse to trade health for wealth, faith for influence, family for funding, or the long game for the next quarter.
Most modern entrepreneurs have one. They need the other.
Almost every business agency assumes you already have a brand and need to grow it. Almost every influencer shop assumes you already have an audience and need to monetize it. RyzeUp is built on the observation that most founders have one and desperately need the other.
Mark Young has spent 30 years building businesses for operators. Dylan Gemelli has spent a decade building an audience of 1.5 million people who trust his voice. The two skills are wildly different. Almost no agency does both well.
RyzeUp is what happens when you put them in the same room and don’t make founders choose.
Four founders. One agency. Built for the ones who refuse to choose.
The audience builder who needs a business
Creators, influencers, practitioners, coaches, speakers. People who built attention and now want to build ownership. You have the voice. We bring the operating model.
The operator who needs an audience
Founders with great products and silent voices. People who can run a P&L but can’t run a content engine. You have the brand. We bring the megaphone.
The solopreneur scaling past themselves
The consultant, agency owner, or expert who has hit the ceiling of personal capacity. You need to turn the practice into a company — without losing what makes you, you.
The entrepreneur who finally turned around to look at their health
The 40-, 50-, 60-something operator who realized the body that got them here isn’t the body that gets them to the finish line. Time to build the rest of the run.
Build the business.
Build the body.
Build the legacy.
Two careers. One conversation. Asymmetric on purpose.
Mark Young
“Operators as much as marketers. That’s the whole point. Founders don’t need more noise — they need insight from someone who’s actually run a P&L this week.”

Three things every modern founder needs.
One agency that brings all three.
The Operator
Ryze Agency’s full performance stack: paid media across Meta, Google, and Microsoft. Email/SMS via Klaviyo. Conversion-grade creative. AI-augmented account operations that run faster, cleaner, and at lower cost than any traditional agency model. The infrastructure was built. You inherit it.
The Audience
One and a half million people who already trust Dylan’s voice on the topics most agencies can’t even pronounce. This isn’t a list we rent for you. It isn’t a creator we negotiate with. It’s built into the partnership.
The Foundation
Both founders are devout Christians who run their businesses, choose their clients, and structure their lives on something larger than the next quarter. The faith is operational, not preached — but it’s the reason the work compounds.
A full operating stack. Built around your gap.
Every engagement is shaped around what the founder is actually missing. Some need the full stack. Some need a strategic spike. We’ll tell you the difference before we take the work.
