Olson has been an industry disruptor throughout his career. Recognizing the challenges small businesses faced with mobile marketing's rise, he originally founded GROWL as a mobile device marketing agency. The company provided cost-effective development resources that enabled small businesses to convert websites into mobile-friendly shopping experiences. The same grit and hustle behind GROWL's first dollar earned had pushed the agency's evolution to a leading HubSpot partner.
GROWL has evolved into a HubSpot implementation and optimization leader, supporting clients worldwide. Headquartered in Grand Junction, CO, the agency has thrived in a dynamic business landscape. Olson fosters an employee-driven culture, empowering his team to redefine GROWL's approach to digital marketing.
Beyond digital marketing expertise, Olson is a champion for his community. He took a bold step by establishing GROWL's headquarters in rural Colorado. This move prioritized work-life balance for his team and allowed him to connect with local partners. GROWL became an active participant in workforce development, serving on the county's workforce development board and leading by example with a unique paid internship program.
Olson is passionate about diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace. He has fostered a women-led organization with a leadership team and board of advisors reflecting his commitment to inclusivity. He empowers his team to carve their career paths and achieve success.
"Through the risks you take and adversity you face as a CEO, being recognized as a Titan 100 CEO is quite an honor. Reflecting on this honor, I am proud of the success GROWL has seen since taking the risk to move to Grand Junction, CO. It is the greatest honor to provide the level of stability that empowers our employees to buy homes, establish roots, and contribute to local vitality," says Olson.
Olson's leadership exemplifies the spirit of a Titan. He consistently creates opportunities and empowers his team. His proudest achievement isn't a single award but GROWL's success after relocating to Grand Junction. He takes pride in contributing to the local economy, creating jobs, and navigating a changing business landscape to continue serving clients and employees.
