Fisheye Marketing has made the first acquisition in its history, acquiring Rinken Media — a Sioux Falls-based content and social media agency founded by Ian Rinken — in July 2021.

Fisheye made the move to add both a strong partnership roster alongside another forward-thinking, business-minded marketer to its team.

This move helps Fisheye solidify its place as a true business-minded marketing agency seeking to solve 21st-century marketing challenges for its partners.

Joining forces with #TeamFisheye, Rinken is looking to expand upon his marketing skill set, network, and diversity of project experience.

“I am really proud of the work we have accomplished for our clients at Rinken Media, but I found myself wanting more, not only for myself, but for my clients,” stated Rinken.

The acquisition officially took place on July 1.

“You know, we’re always looking to add talented and personable people to the team here at Fisheye,” said Troy Klongerbo, the founder of Fisheye Marketing.

“We love the culture we’ve started to build here at Fisheye and it always helps to add really good people to the team. It makes life in the FishBowl that much more fun.”

Rinken will use his strong interpersonal skills to fill the role of Account Manager & Social Media Strategist, managing not only his previous partnerships, but also that of trusted, established Fisheye partnerships. 

He also plans to leverage an extensive knowledge in social media strategy to apply to his work in the FishBowl.

Rinken was a 2017 graduate of Grand Canyon University where he studied Christian Studies and Theology, a degree he’s used in part to build a strong, faith-based Twitter community. 

He’s also a husband, father, and avid golfer. You can read more about Ian on our Team page.
