Who We Are

Amazing Happens Here. We believe the best brands deserve maximum exposure and opportunity.

Why?

Because anytime a great business closes its doors...

Or an excellent product loses to a mediocre competitor...

Or a visionary walks away from their dream... 

We all lose.

This is what keeps us up at night. What drives us every day.

Since our founding, Olive Public Relations has partnered with leaders across the country to put a spotlight on their exceptional brands. 

Through proven and unconventional public relations strategies, we’ve helped founders, influencers, and executives achieve extraordinary results and make a lasting impact. 

For over 15 years, we’ve been fearlessly dedicated to brands the world needs to know. 

We don’t play it safe.

We’re gutsy. All-in. 

Blood, sweat, and tears advocates.

If you have a dream for your company, a vision for your brand, or an audacious goal for your business, we’re here to help you make that dream a reality.

Illuminating Greatness

We exist to amplify the stories of the most positively powerful brands.

We’re not here to make our clients great—they already are.

We simply shine a spotlight on what’s exceptionally inherent in each brand…and then magnify that to the world.

At Olive, we live and breath by each of these core values, with a fierce commitment to every client we’re privileged to serve.

Do you have a stellar brand
that deserves more visibility?

Too many entrepreneurs, business leaders, and influencers are doing amazing things--but don’t have the awareness they should. And because of that, go nowhere.

It’s time to realize your brand’s full potential.
