Evolving a Business You Don’t Want Into One You Do with Ron Tonini


Listen Later

Keeping up with changes in technology and suggestions from others can force your business into a place you don’t want to be. When that happens, what do you do? How do you adapt a business during lightning speed changes? How do you evolve a business you don’t want into one you do?

To tackle this issue, I (Kyle) chatted with Ron Tonini, a Co-Owner and the CEO of Picture Marketing. Ron shares the changes and challenges he’s seen over the past 20+ years as technology and customer whims resulted in evolution of his business. He discusses the value of combining passion with product, staying fresh, surviving cycles in business, and the marketability of simplicity. 

“Reinventing the product… really rejuvenates your enthusiasm for it all.” -- Ron Tonini

Ron is a Co-Owner and the CEO of Picture Marketing, a turn-key photo sharing solution to increase brand participation. Ron says…

“Since 2000, my partners and I have been passionately striving to perfect the use of consumer photos and videos in brand-based advertising efforts. We’ve developed Apps for both Android and iOS that allow any company to enlist its own employees as photo-taking brand ambassadors for the brand. Picture Marketing was born out of my passion for database marketing and lead generation.

Prior to founding Picture Marketing, I served as President of Don Ton Associates, where I positioned the company to take advantage of the advent of the Internet by developing multiple web-focused marketing efforts including the CruiseNet, CruiseBid and CruiseWatch web properties, which were subsequently purchased by American Express.”
