Twentysix Search will offer a full range of search marketing services including search engine optimisation and pay-per-click.
Scott joins from Leeds-based search agency Epiphany.
Gail Dudleston, managing director of Twentysix, said: "This is a really exciting milestone for Twentysix. Search has been the missing link in our offering until now and this has been a frustration for us.
"Bringing in Ryan, a rising star in the world of search, means we can meet clients' complete digital marketing needs and offer a truly integrated online strategy for them."
