About
Built by an agency that got tired of the seams
Oleera is made by McKinney Creative Ventures, a marketing technology firm in Woodbury, Minnesota, working with local service businesses across the Twin Cities east metro, the St. Croix valley and western Wisconsin.
It exists because of a pattern that showed up in every single engagement. A client would be running one platform for marketing and a second for field operations, and the two would not talk. Every month we would export from one, paste into the other, and hand back a report that counted leads because nobody could produce one that counted dollars. The client would ask which of their ads was actually working, which is the only question they really had, and the honest answer was that no system they owned could tell them.
Bridging that by hand is normal in this industry and it should not be. The gap is not a missing integration, it is a missing record: nothing in either system carries where a customer came from all the way through to what they eventually paid. So we built the thing that does.
MCV is the first business running on Oleera. Our own customers, our own proposals, our own invoices, our own money. Everything on this site is something we use on a Tuesday, not a roadmap item with a screenshot.
How we build it
Say what is not there. The product page on this site has a list of what Oleera does not do yet. That list costs us nothing and it is the only reason to believe the rest of the page.
The AI proposes, you decide. It would have been faster to let the agent write to the database directly, and everybody else does. We took the slower path because software you have to watch is not software that helps you.
Your accounts stay yours. Your Stripe, your sending domain, your phone number. If you ever leave, you are not untangling your business from ours, and your customers never receive mail from a company they have never heard of.
Small on purpose. Oleera is onboarding a few businesses at a time. That is slower than a signup form and it is how each account actually ends up configured rather than half set up.
Where it is going
Next is review generation, so asking for a Google review is part of finishing a job rather than a thing somebody remembers on a good week. After that, inbox and calendar sync, so the email you send from your own client lands on the customer record without anybody copying it there.
We are not building funnels, websites, courses or a loyalty program. Plenty of platforms will sell you all four. None of them will tell you which advertisement paid for your truck.
Come and have a look
Tell us what you run and what is not working about it. If Oleera is not the right answer we will say so, and we generally know within one conversation.
