About Bread and Circuses

Bread and Circuses is a fractional marketing + digital agency hybrid. Founded by Ryan Johnson, a digital marketing executive with leadership experience at News Corporation, Goalcast, and Ziff Davis Media.

Seeing the gap between expensive in-house marketing teams and disconnected agency relationships, we built a model that gives growing companies exactly what they need: senior-level marketing strategy combined with expert execution across content marketing, SEO, paid advertising, web design, and more.

Our fractional marketing + agency approach provides the flexibility to scale marketing efforts without the overhead of full-time hires. Whether clients need strategic guidance, specialized execution, or both, we deliver results-focused marketing through proven frameworks, AI-enhanced processes, and our network of experienced strategists, editors, and creators.

Companies get the strategic thinking of an in-house marketing leader with the specialized expertise of a full-service agency—tailored precisely to their business needs and budget. Our winning blend of fractional leadership and expert execution delivers measurable results that grow with your business.
