Rizzo Young Marketing Celebrates Its Third Year of Business

DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS (April 28th, 2021) — Rizzo Young Marketing is proudly celebrating its third year of business serving the Chicagoland community.

Officially founded on April 2nd, 2018 by Maria Rizzo and Rick Young, Rizzo Young Marketing LLC has been providing tailored digital marketing and advertising services to its clientele. Rizzo Young conducts business under a firm belief that customers don’t buy from businesses, they buy from the people behind them. Originally starting out of an apartment in Old Irving Park, Chicago, Rizzo Young Marketing LLC moved to Des Plaines, Illinois in December 2018.

In the past three years, Rizzo Young Marketing LLC has secured numerous accounts, ranging across the legal, real estate, retail, and technology sectors, to name a few. Recently, Rizzo Young began its national expansion onboarding out-of-state clientele, launching a public relations arm, and hiring a team of industry-leading collaborators to help build upon Maria and Rick’s vision of what a marketing agency can be.

“We always felt that we had the skills needed to not only be successful marketers on our own but to help others to market their businesses as well,” said Young. “Throughout the years, being part of the Chicagoland community as well as continually pushing ourselves to be better has really led to our success and long-term viability as a business.”

The future holds more innovation as this year Rizzo Young Marketing LLC is excited to launch into the world of podcasts with the debut of Marketing Pop, a podcast that covers pop culture topics and what they can teach all of us about marketing. The podcast is expected to launch in June of 2021.

"We've come a long way in just three years, and we count ourselves as lucky for having weathered the pandemic as well as we did,” said Rizzo. “But we're excited for the future and our upcoming project, Marketing Pop. Hopefully, we can entertain and teach people about our industry, as well as learn something about ourselves as consumers."

DES PLAINES, Illinois (March 1, 2021) — The Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry Foundation awards an annual scholarship of $2,000 to three graduating high school students whose parents or guardians work at one of the Chamber’s more than 600 member businesses. The money can be used for a university, community college, or trade school. The DPCC is currently accepting scholarship submissions until the March 25th deadline.

This year, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry has selected Richard “Rick” Young to lead its scholarship committee. Young, 28, is the founder of Rizzo Young Marketing, a digital marketing and advertising agency serving the Chicagoland community, which he runs with his wife and business partner, Maria Rizzo. He joined the Chamber one year after launching his business in 2018 and was appointed to the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors in 2020.

Rick Young and the scholarship committee’s seven other members that are currently serving on the Chamber’s 2021 Board of Directors will meet to pick the award winners. “Even after a year of unprecedented challenges for many of our member businesses, we all agreed to continue funding this scholarship,” said Young. “Investing in future leaders is the most important investment we can make.”  Since its inception in 1989, the foundation has awarded a total of $192,000 in scholarships.

The Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry Foundation is led by the Chamber’s Executive Director Andrea Biwer. “We are extremely proud to be able to continue the 32-year tradition of giving these scholarships. Our generous members contribute funds to our foundation each year so we can help local graduating high school seniors go on to a trade or four-year school to continue their education in hope that they will become future business leaders in our community,” said Biwer. “It’s been great working with our Chairman, Rick Young and we are looking forward to getting many more applicants through his fabulous marketing efforts.”
