Our Story
"Think 30A meets Miami Vice — refined coastal style with the bold energy to back it up."
Too many small business owners have been burned — overcharged for websites that don't rank, sold SEO packages they don't understand, and handed off to junior account managers who don't know their business. We started Ruata Marketing because that needed to change.
We build honest websites at fair prices, and we tell you exactly what we're doing and why. No jargon. No hidden fees. No chasing us down for updates.
Ruata Marketing is a husband-and-wife team based in Panama City Beach, Florida. Tish builds — she handles the development, the code, and the technical execution that makes every site fast, clean, and found on Google. Cris develops business — bringing a strong background in relationship-building, campaigns, sales, and connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
Between the two of us, we've helped businesses grow from the ground up, taken products to global markets, and placed talent across one of the most relationship-driven industries in the country. One constant truth runs through all of it: most businesses don't have a product problem. They have a visibility problem. That's the problem we solve.
Houston Roots. Gulf Coast Pride.
Tish was the first employee at CNPC USA, helping build departments from scratch and break into major oil and gas companies. She's managed community events that moved the needle on resident retention, helped businesses recover COVID losses through ERC, and taken a startup's technology product to international markets. She's also wrangled over 3,000 kids through Vacation Bible School at a mega church — which, honestly, is its own kind of project management.
Different industries. Different challenges. Same passion for helping businesses grow.
That breadth means we understand your business, not just your website.
Honesty first. We tell you what we actually think, even when it's not what you want to hear. That's how trust gets built.
We're in your corner. Whether you're a business owner trying to grow or a candidate navigating a career move, we treat your goals like they're our own.
Results over reports. We don't hide behind metrics. You should be able to see — clearly — whether what we're doing is working.
