Standing out in today’s crowded social media landscape, flooded with "how-to tips" and "top 10 lists," is crucial for a brand’s success. The time and energy it takes to create original, memorable content in this environment is incredibly challenging but absolutely essential to a brand’s success. People appreciate original ideas that make them feel something, whether it's laughter, a tug at their heartstrings, or inspiration.
This is where Renaissance Marketing Group (RMG) comes in. Founded by Sydney Dozier in 2014, RMG partners with brands to break through the noise, resonate with their audience and make a lasting impact. Whether just starting or stuck in a rut, they help companies elevate their business through social media marketing, content creation, and growth strategies.

Sydney launched her idea during a period of creative burnout. After leaving her marketing director role at a major music museum in Nashville, she returned home to Atlanta, needing to reset and focus on herself as she figured out her next step. As her unwavering supporter, her dad knew her potential and one day suggested she start something on her own. This idea sparked a newfound determination in her and that night, she scribbled a rough 'business plan' on a piece of notebook paper in her childhood bedroom. She still keeps that framed piece of paper as a reminder of the humble beginnings of her now thriving social media business. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Getting started was a real challenge, as there weren’t as many resources in the field of social media as there are today. But you won’t go anywhere if you don’t take that initial first step. From that initial jumble of ideas, RMG has grown into a premier social media agency based in Nashville, TN. Sydney and her team collaborate with a range of clients, from individual entrepreneurs to multinational corporations and nonprofits.
She attributes this growth to a few key factors: social media, customer service & communication, and exceptional content creation. While all three factors are crucial to RMG’s growth, content creation demands agility in an ever-evolving tech and trend landscape. This was especially true when Instagram shifted its algorithm to prioritize originality, leaving many creators worried about their User-Generated Content strategies. At RMG, each team member already juggles 6-8 content calendars monthly (about 175 pieces of content per person). With the workload piling up, they dedicated even more time to brainstorming.

To combat creative burnout, RMG launched Content Collaboration Sessions. Gathered in their pink wallpapered conference room, the entire team brainstorms ideas for every brand, regardless of the account manager. These sessions harness the team's collective creativity, generating fresh ideas that inspire each account manager, streamline content creation and fuel originality. Many of their most successful campaigns and viral content have sprung from these collaborative efforts.
Additional avenues for brand visibility include Renaissance Women’s Summits, which strategically position the agency in front of its target audience. The Renaissance Podcast has been invaluable for business development, connecting RMG with leading women founders and CEOs for intimate conversations about their entrepreneurial journeys. (Fun fact: Planoly’s CEO was featured in an episode!) Sydney is always building relationships with other CEOs to ensure RMG is top of mind for outsourced social media marketing.
In essence, RMG’s journey embodies the impact of optimism, teamwork, and adaptability in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing. As Sydney and her team continue to innovate and inspire, RMG remains at the forefront, empowering brands to stand out and thrive in a competitive digital world.
