Today on Positively West Virginia, we sit down with Michael "Mike" Ruffing, founder and President & CEO of Problem Solver's Consultants, a West Virginia-based digital marketing agency helping small businesses build their brands and grow their businesses. Founded in 2013 in Buckhannon, the company was built on the idea that local businesses deserve access to effective, data-driven marketing strategies without the high costs and complexity often associated with larger marketing campaigns.
With a background in corporate marketing and experience working with Fortune 500 companies, Mike has dedicated his work to helping small businesses throughout West Virginia and beyond compete in an increasingly digital world. In 2026, Problem Solver's Consultants was recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration as West Virginia's Rural Small Business of the Year.
In this conversation, we explore entrepreneurship, digital marketing and the challenges facing small businesses across the Mountain State. Mike shares his perspective on building a successful business, adapting to an ever-changing digital landscape, and helping West Virginia businesses find new opportunities to grow and succeed.
