Ricky joined the military at 17 years old; he learned teamwork, integrity, and structure which later on led him to different fields within sales yet he found his true calling building Hotspot Effect.

He has 2 Harvard Certifications, one in (Rhetoric: the art of persuasive writing and public speaking) the other in (Money, markets and morals) both of these play a big part in his marketing strategies.

Hotspot Effect uses people’s social connections and everyday interests instead of expensive paid marketing. Their approach has been proven more effective, both in results and in marketing costs. When Hotspot Effect is not managing large conglomerate companies, it gives back. The new program started by Ricky Alexander has had huge success and truly made an impact on people in need. Hotspot Effect has saved close to 40 thousand dollars for charities in 2021!

Hotspot Effect was able to make this happen with the use of an amazing platform called Catchafire. Catchafire is a network of volunteers, nonprofits, and funders working together to solve urgent problems and lift up communities. Now thanks to this unbelievable platform that they were able to build; Hotspot Effect has done over 20 different project to help others all over the world. This is just the beginning of the charity projects, Ricky and Hotspot Effect plan on doing so much more.

Ricky is a marketing strategist who is very knowledgeable in social media algorithms and is continuing to learn every single day. He has learned to listen to what people want, to what people need and fully execute those strategies to make sure they succeed.

Ricky's goal in life is to help as many people as possible and he is very good at what he does. Always looking forward to the opportunity to help others and jumping on the chance when he knows he can truly benefit everyone involved. On top of all of his current experience, he is a very good listener but even better at execution.

"My conversation with Ricky was extremely productive. He was very prepared for our call with a multitude of suggestions for ways my organization could jumpstart our social media following and engagement. Moreover, he was kind, easy to talk to, and an attentive listener. I very much appreciate Ricky taking the time to research our organization, give us advice, and answer all of my questions.
