About Us

Our Story

Once upon a time, three Media Buyers and an Account Manager worked at a marketing agency, building out a department from the ground up. Now, this agency seemed pretty great. They had a good niche and a great team, but something wasn't adding up. 

 

So, what do pros like us do when they know they can do something better than it is being done? They do it themselves! Thus, Oak Barrel Advertising was born in November of 2023. So, we look brand new, but we are anything but inexperienced! Our four heroes, David, Joshua, Nicholas, and Zachary have a combined 10+ years of highly successful media buying experience for manufacturers, retailers, e-commerce brands, and more. Founded on the idea that Stability, Consistency, Simplicity, and Clarity trump "talent" every time, we only do one thing—Google Ads. Because we want to be the best. We have the goods. We can prove it and we guarantee it.  Let us show you what we can do for your business.

Timeless Principles.
Perpetual Results.

Who We Are

"A New Company Obsessed With Old Ideas"

We are a new company obsessed with old ideas. Our approach is, "A good idea is better than a new idea".  Think of us like financial planners. We take your investment and manage its growth—but instead of stocks, bonds, etc., we leverage advertising. 

"Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty." 

We have been through the trends. We have seen the shiny objects.  We have chased them.  We have slogged through the valley of failure and despair. But, through that, we have come to the place of achieving repeatable results. Our culture is one of not caring what anyone has done once—or even 10 times. Have you achieved the desired outcome 100+ times? Now we can talk.

We also have experience in almost all realms of digital marketing. But, we only offer one. Google Ads. Why? Because Google Ads is the most efficient way to match a person with what they need. And, in terms of advertising, who has had not just good ideas, but the best ideas that have had the most impact over and over and over?  The answer: Advertising giants long dead who wrote books your average media buyer will never read (because they don't know they exist). This is our secret formula: read books no one else bothers with, take their best ideas and implement them. Hence our old-school aesthetic.
 
We seek to create measurable results that are repeatable, consistent, and predictable. We have a feeling you have enough volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in your life. What if your media buying wasn't part of the madness?
 
What if your media buying engendered stability, certainty, simplicity, and clarity?
Wouldn't it be nice to have something you could count on?
​
In the coming years, the battle between innovation and regulation will, we feel, result in an even higher need for competent advertising professionals who have mastered the foundational principles of the craft—not merely the platform du jour. Of course, we keep up with trends and innovation. We watch. We learn. We implement as is prudent. We do not chase.

Our team is lean.  We have 3 media buyers, David Quilici, Zachary Baltes, and Nicholas Pino, who have operated as solopreneurs, within large agencies, in-house—you name it. But we are now working with our best setup yet.
 
Strong yet flexible. Agile yet reliable. Timeless yet perpetual.
Our team has generated Billions of dollars of real-world results.

One of our favorite quotes is, "The business of making money if done right, is a boring one." We strive for this. If our approach seems like a good fit for you and your organization, we would be honored to meet with you to discuss the growth of your business.
