Our Team
Okay, here we go:

Hey, I’m Mark Olsen. If you’re reading this, you’re probably into online marketing. Who isn’t these days, right?
I’m a Chicago guy. This city knows how to get noticed. And that’s what marketing is all about, isn’t it?
My digital journey? Not planned! I studied Communications at UIUC. Always loved telling stories. But a part-time job at an e-commerce startup? That sparked my fire.
I saw how a great ad could change a business. Seriously! Startup life taught me everything. Way more than any book.
I went from writing product descriptions to managing social media. And I made mistakes. Plenty of them! But those mistakes were gold. They taught me resilience and the power of data. Oh, and I got my Google Ads certification, too.
After a few years, I moved to a bigger agency. SEO and content marketing were my jam. Local restaurants to huge retail chains, I worked with them all. It was intense. Fast-paced. Rewarding, surprisingly. I even led a team on a rebrand that won a Webby! Still can’t believe it.
Now? I run my own thing. I help businesses navigate the crazy world of online marketing.
My focus? Custom strategies. They drive traffic and leads. But they also build real connections with customers. Because online marketing isn’t just about algorithms. It’s about people.
I’m obsessed with staying ahead. Conferences, blogs, new tools… you name it. Gotta keep learning, right?
Outside of work? I’m a huge Cubs fan (yes, I suffered!). Craft beer lover (Chicago perk!). And a surprisingly good photographer. These things keep me sane. Remind me there’s more to life than click-through rates.
My values? Simple.
- Transparency
- Integrity
- Results
I want to help businesses thrive. But ethically. And sustainably. I’m upfront about what works. And I always put my clients’ long-term success first.
Accuracy is key. I make sure my information is reliable and current. Online marketing changes fast. So, I’m always learning and checking facts.
My hope? To help you crush your online marketing goals. Whether you’re a pro or just starting, I’m here to share what I know. And maybe inspire you a little.
