About Olander Group

Experts in Every Channel.
Masters of the Mix.

For more than 25 years, we’ve planned and bought media in every channel there is — from the Super Bowl to the newest ads on ChatGPT. That breadth is how we know where to focus now: the channels where advertising is growing, and the creative, data and measurement that make every campaign work harder. Senior people on every account, real numbers behind every decision, and full visibility into all of it.

Olander Group office — strategic paid media planning
Our Story

25 years in the making

Olander Group was founded in 2004 on a simple belief: every serious advertiser deserves the strategic depth the world’s largest brands take for granted.

We built this agency to deliver exactly that. Senior in experience, direct in access, and fully accountable to the results that matter to your organization. Our principals have worked in media since 1999.

How We Work

One plan, one set of numbers, one person accountable.

Every account is run by a senior strategist — someone who has managed campaigns at the highest level and brings that experience to your organization directly. Not handed off to a junior team. Not templated. Built from your actual numbers.

We model your economics before we touch a campaign, and we decide the allocation across channels before anyone opens a platform. We instrument measurement so every decision rests on data you can trust — and where you operate under HIPAA, a state consumer-health-data law or financial-advertising rules, we build that measurement so it does not create exposure. Then we show you everything: what we see, what we spend, and exactly why we make the calls we make.

The result is media that compounds. Cleaner signals feeding platform AI. Better data informing better bids. A plan that moves budget toward what is working instead of defending last year's split.

And every account runs on our own systems — documented playbooks, signal pipelines, and an AI creative engine that keeps fresh, on-brand creative flowing every month. What we learn on one account improves all of them.

  • The creative, signals and data automated campaigns run on, built in from day one
  • Targets built from what a new customer is actually worth to you
  • Budget allocated across channels deliberately, and revisited as results come in
  • Full transparency into spend, performance, and every decision
  • Reporting tied to revenue and growth — not impressions and clicks
  • Privacy-safe tracking and measurement, including under HIPAA and financial-advertising rules
Our Principles

Six principles we never compromise on

01

Strategic Depth

Every engagement starts with the math. We work out what a new patient, member, student or customer is actually worth, set targets against it, and allocate budget across channels accordingly — before a single campaign goes live.

02

Full Transparency

You see what we see. You know what we spend. You understand every decision we make and why we made it. No black boxes. No surprises. Ever.

03

Hands-On Execution

We are in the accounts daily — not monitoring dashboards, but making decisions, pulling search terms, testing creative, and optimizing bids in real time. We are operators, not reporters.

04

Built on Our Own Systems

Every workflow is documented and runs on our own playbooks, signal pipelines and creative engine, so the quality of your results never depends on memory or luck.

05

Platform-Deep Expertise

We’ve run campaigns on the Super Bowl, the Academy Awards and the Olympics. We ran one of the first ad campaigns on Twitter as a beta partner, and were among the first advertisers on Facebook, Spotify and TikTok. Now we’re early on ChatGPT ads, for the same reason: the advantage is largest before a channel is crowded.

06

Senior Accountability

You will always know where things stand, and the strategist responsible for your account is senior. You get our best thinking — not a handoff to someone reading from a playbook.

Our Process

From first conversation to real results.

Five proven stages, each building on the last, so your program gets smarter every month: better data, sharper strategy and stronger performance over time.

01

Discovery

It starts with your Media Review. We dig into your accounts, tracking and market, and agree on the numbers that will define success.

02

Foundation

We build the campaign structure, privacy-safe tracking and your first round of creative — the foundation every channel runs on.

03

Launch

Campaigns go live in stages, with clean tracking and close monitoring, so every platform starts learning from accurate data.

04

Optimize

We manage bids, budgets and audiences against your targets, keep fresh creative flowing every month, and tie every decision back to your numbers.

05

Grow

We scale what’s working, move budget to where it earns the most, and add channels where the opportunity is real.

Our Experience

Twenty-five years. Every channel. Categories most agencies will not touch.

We have managed media for Fortune 500 companies, global brands, financial firms, major universities, regional health systems, and fast-growing direct-to-consumer brands. We have been in the room — and in the accounts — at every level of this industry.

That breadth is what we bring to every engagement. Pattern recognition built across verticals, budget levels and market conditions does not come from running one type of account.

It also means we’re comfortable where others aren’t. In healthcare and financial services, the rules on tracking, targeting and claims are strict — from protected health information to special ad categories for credit and lending. We know how to keep campaigns performing inside those rules, and we’ll walk your compliance team through exactly how.
