ONAR CEO Claude Zdanow Presents at NobleCon20

Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR, recently took the stage at NobleCon20 to share his ambitious vision for the future of marketing and business solutions. His presentation highlighted ONAR's unique approach, which leverages AI and a diverse network of specialized agencies to deliver unparalleled service and results to an emerging market.

Key Takeaways

  • Industry Disruption: ONAR’s network of specialized agencies serve the overlooked middle market, a profitable and less competitive niche consisting of growth-stage companies that have historically been slow to adapt to new technologies like AI to scale their businesses.
  • AI-Driven Innovation: Zdanow emphasized the transformative power of AI in revolutionizing marketing and business strategies. ONAR is at the forefront of this technological shift, integrating AI into its operations to increase creative velocity, optimize campaigns, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth.
  • Leveraging Specialized Experts: ONAR's network of specialized agencies allows the company to tailor solutions to specific client needs. By combining the expertise of various disciplines, ONAR can deliver comprehensive and effective strategies.
  • Accelerating Strategic Acquisitions: Zdanow discussed ONAR's uncompromising pursuit of companies to join the agile company network, with plans to acquire even more specialized agencies in the near future. These symbiotic partnerships would offer acquired agencies the benefits of a larger company, while positioning ONAR as a marketing powerhouse in a growing number of specialized advertising spaces.

ONAR's Unique Approach

Zdanow highlighted ONAR's unique approach to delivering innovative marketing and business solutions. By combining the expertise of a diverse network of specialized agencies with the power of AI, ONAR is able to provide comprehensive and tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of each client.

  • Impressive Technology Stack: As ONAR has acquired businesses, we've developed a proprietary technology stack leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data that fosters agility and delivers great work, no matter where our teams are located.
  • Hub & Spoke Infrastructure: ONAR adopts a platform-light approach, allowing agencies to self-fund resources needed for client work. This flexibility empowers them to execute complex, integrated solutions for larger clients by tapping into the collective capabilities of our entire ecosystem.
  • Non-Competitive SME Agency Brands: We purposefully acquire specialized marketing agencies that don't compete with each other for the same clients or services. This strategic approach allows us to build a diverse and synergistic ecosystem of experts, each focused on unique strengths.
  • Expert Global Team: With 60% of ONAR’s workforce living across 5 continents, we offer tenured experience and a global perspective to our clients. Our remote-first model gives greater opportunity to employ experts without geographic limitations while keeping overhead low.
