Ryan Burrell, President of Spry Strategies, began his career in political polling in 2006 working alongside his father, Don Burrell, at the Republican consulting firm Washington Political Group. Ryan’s deep enthusiasm for the strategy and competitiveness of Republican primaries, aimed at winning general elections, fueled his professional journey. As Vice President of Washington Political Group and Burrell and Co., he provided general consulting for House and Senate Caucuses, Congressional elections, and Presidential campaigns.

​

In January 2018, Ryan found himself at a Panera Bread, contemplating the perfect name for a new venture. While browsing through a list of “20 Best Adjectives for Business Names,” one word caught his eye: “spry.” Defined as nimble, agile, and lightning-fast, the term perfectly encapsulated the qualities that had made Ryan’s services indispensable to his clients for over a decade. Inspired by this fitting description, Ryan launched Spry Strategies, with the brand coming to life just 72 hours later.

​

Since its inception in 2018, Spry Strategies has conducted over 400 political polls, market research projects, and online surveys across 33 states. Known for its precision and reliability, Spry Strategies boasts an impressive 93.7% accuracy rate within the margin of error and a 94.5% success rate in forecasting key primary and general election outcomes. In 2024, the firm continues to strengthen its impact by partnering with influential conservative organizations, including American Principals Project (APP), MAGA Inc., American Majority, and American Majority Action.

​

Ryan leads Spry Strategies with a vision grounded in family values and collaborative success. Under his leadership, the company has flourished, benefiting from a close-knit team that embodies a spirit of shared achievement.

Ryan is happily married to Jessica Burrell, and together they recently welcomed a new member to their family, baby Mason. This joyful addition has brought even more warmth and happiness into their lives.

​

A proud father, Ryan’s daughter Mackenzie has recently been named Vice President, a testament to her exceptional talent and dedication. Her new role reflects her significant contributions and leadership within the company. Beyond her professional achievements, Mackenzie is also a loving mother to Knox and JJ, balancing her career with her cherished role at home.

​

Adding to the family’s professional synergy, Mackenzie’s sister Sydney has joined the team as a Client Services Representative. Sydney’s enthusiasm and commitment to client satisfaction are already making a positive impact. At Spry Strategies, family isn’t just a part of Ryan’s personal life—it’s integral to the company’s culture. Their combined efforts and shared vision underscore the strength of their family bond and their commitment to achieving excellence together.
