The South Bay advertising agency that measures pipeline, not impressions.

Olive Group is headquartered in Manhattan Beach, CA — a strategic advertising agency for service businesses, professional firms, and DTC brands across the South Bay and beyond.

Advertising that pays for itself

Most agencies measure success in impressions, reach, and engagement. Those are vanity metrics. We measure success in pipeline, qualified leads, and revenue attribution — the things that actually matter to your business.

That means tighter creative, faster iteration, and brutally honest reporting. If a campaign isn’t working, you’ll know before the month ends — not after the quarter closes.

What we run

Paid search (Google, Bing)

Performance-focused campaigns built around buyer intent. We own the search results page for the queries that actually convert, and we kill the ones that don’t.

Paid social (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok)

Audience-first creative, tested ruthlessly. We test creative variants on a tight cadence and let the data tell us what to scale.

Programmatic and display

Retargeting, contextual targeting, and connected TV. Built for brand and direct response in the same campaign architecture.

Creative production

Video, static, copy, and design — in-house. No waiting for an external creative shop while your ad spend sits idle.

Why service businesses choose us

• Senior strategists on every account. No junior handoffs.
• Operator background. We run five portfolio brands ourselves. We’ve spent our own money on the platforms before we spend yours.
• Transparent reporting. You see everything: ad spend, attribution, CAC, CPL, ROAS. No black-box dashboards.
• Manhattan Beach office. In-person collaboration when it matters. Remote-first when it doesn’t.
