Ovative Group Named to Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal’s Fast 50 List
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Oct. 27, 2023 – For the seventh time, Ovative Group, a national independent media and measurement firm, was included on Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal’s (MSPBJ) Fast 50 list of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing private companies. The award honors the top 50 private companies based on percentage of revenue growth between 2020 and 2022. This year, Ovative ranked #22 on the list.
In three years, Ovative grew exponentially, expanding its client base to include top brands from industries such as retail, CPG, healthcare, and various others.
Ovative helps clients move the needle in media strategy and measurement through its proprietary metric, Enterprise Marketing Return (EMR). This unified optimization metric aligns business leaders to the metrics that impact their business most, looking beyond traditional metrics like Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) and last-click attribution to understand the true value of marketing investments across consumer touchpoints.
In addition to client growth, Ovative’s national employee headcount has seen rapid growth. Earlier this year, Ovative opened its third office in Chicago, joining the Minneapolis headquarters and New York City offices. Since opening its New York City office in 2021, Ovative has continued to experience explosive growth. The company expanded its team from 200 to more than 500 employees in just over two years, a 153% increase.
Ovative puts an emphasis on building an inclusive environment that welcomes and attracts top, diverse talent from across the nation. Through programs such as Champions of Change and ELEVATE, Ovative maintains a large focus on cultural inclusion and professional development at all levels of the organization.
“I’m excited about our consistent presence on MSPBJ’s Fast 50 list,” said Dale Nitschke, CEO and Founder of Ovative Group. “It represents our team’s ability to raise the bar each year and the strong relationships with our amazing clients. Congratulations to all on this list who help make the Twin Cities such a vibrant community.“
