About
OBERLAND is an advertising agency for purpose-driven brands. We use your purpose to drive your people, progress, and profit.
OBERLAND was founded in 2014 by Bill Oberlander & Drew Train. At the time, they were working together as client and agency partners on behalf of NYC’s Veterans, with Bill as the Marketing Director at The Robin Hood Foundation and Drew as the founder of J. Walter Thompson’s Ethos division. We were founded on the basis of bringing the best of advertising to brands seeking to create sustainable financial returns. OBERLAND was intentionally ahead of the industry trend and is a unique blend of social issue expertise, purpose-driven experience and creative magic.
