With over a decade of experience to his credit, Mr. Rickles has established a successful career in advertising, marketing, and public relations. He currently excels as founder and chief executive officer of Mainline Media Group LLC, a position he has held since 2017, where he specializes in advertising operations, email marketing, and content creation. His experience also includes roles at Patriot Ad Network LLC and Liberty Alliance LLC, serving as advertising manager from 2015 to 2017, sales and trafficking manager in 2015, and marketing and advertising intern for Liberty Alliance LLC in 2015. Laying a solid educational foundation, he earned a bachelor’s degree in business management, marketing, and related support services from Georgia State University in 2018, along with Google Ads Display Certification, Google Ads Fundamentals Certification, Hootsuite Platform Certification in 2018, and DFP Fundamentals for Administrators.

Reflecting on his path, Mr. Rickles began in advertising operations for publisher websites, focusing on optimizing ad units to maximize site revenue through audience monetization. He transitioned to driving significant traffic from social media to websites, initially encountering challenges before delving into email marketing. After refining his expertise, he left his job and expanded his network by leveraging relationships with large Facebook page owners, significantly increasing their advertising earnings. Building on this, he established and developed his own network, which he sold by the end of 2022. In 2023, he dedicated his efforts to enhancing systems and processes for email list building, content optimization, and monetization, and by early 2024, he transitioned to a fully client-focused approach. In light of his impressive undertakings, he was honored with the Top 100 Marketing and Advertising Leaders Award at the Marketing Summit Conference in 2020.
Mr. Rickles takes great pride in independently managing an impressive portfolio of 1,200 sites, with revenue increases ranging from 50% to as high as 400% in just a few months of overseeing these projects. Additionally, his establishment and eventual sale of his site network resulted in his first significant seven-figure deal. He credits his success to a combination of good fortune and his aptitude in the field, while expressing profound gratitude for the unwavering support of his team and family. Looking ahead, he envisions building a lasting legacy through perseverance and hard work. His primary aspiration is to collaborate with increasingly prominent clients, showcasing the immense potential of email marketing. In the short term, he is focused on managing one billion monthly emails, nearly quintupling his current workload. Additionally, he aims to achieve a specific valuation, securing state funding to elevate his company to the next level with a target of $20 million in annual revenue. Ultimately, he plans to establish additional ventures under the umbrella of his current company, expanding its reach and influence.
