Olivine Marketing

We’re a full-service B2B product marketing agency

Olivine Marketing was founded in 2016 to address the growing need for skilled product marketing at early- to mid-stage companies. We’ve since grown to support a range of clients, from pre-seed (and pre-launch) startups to public companies. We're process-driven and results-oriented, so we get sh*t done. Olivine is structured to take the best parts of working with an agency (e.g. executing the hell out of a complex project) with the best parts of working with an individual consultant (e.g. having an additional team member with specific expertise and dedicated project availability). Plus, we've all worked at tech companies, so we're particularly empathetic and attuned to the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of startups and growth-stage companies.

ANML

Senior-led web, product and brand design for B2B, AI and emerging technology companies. Senior designers do the work — no junior hand-off.

ANML is a senior-led design agency for B2B, AI, and emerging technology companies. Founded in 2012, we design websites, digital products, design systems, and brand systems — with the brand and the product shipping as one system rather than as separate projects. Our work concentrates in three places: enterprise software and SaaS platforms where complex workflows have to become usable; AI products where the interaction patterns don't exist yet; and connected-device and IoT experiences where the companion app is the product. We do the same work for consumer brands, where the craft is identical and the constraints differ. Senior designers do the work end to end. Strategy doesn't get handed to juniors after the pitch. Services: digital product design, enterprise and B2B UX/UI, AI and emerging technology interfaces, IoT and connected devices, design systems, web design and front-end development, brand strategy and identity. Notable past and current clients: ServiceNow, NetApp, Palo Alto Networks, Marvell, Zoom, Sitecore, Citrix, Autodesk, SurveyMonkey, Logitech, Ford, CNN, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, GT's Kombucha, 805 Beer, Bandai Namco, Brunswick Notable results: ServiceNow: 95% more demo clicks, 39% lower bounce rate NetApp: 3x engagement, 2x registrations Flock Safety: 2x conversions in five months Meltwater: AI search visibility from #57 to #15 Yummly: 50M users, 4.8-star rating
