Seven years, countless conversations, and a Patch that keeps growing!
This November, Melon Local celebrates seven years of helping businesses get noticed, connect with customers and take their next step toward growth. Along the way, we’ve welcomed new Melons, built new ways to support our clients and made plenty of memories worth celebrating.
But to appreciate how far we’ve come, let’s rewind a little.
Where Our Roots Took Hold
Melon Local launched in November 2019 with a simple idea: bring the care and attention of hospitality to the insurance marketing world.
Drawing on her background in the Las Vegas hospitality industry, CEO Whitney Green-Olson helped build a company where relationships mattered as much as strategy. Business owners deserved a team that knew their goals, answered their questions and cared about what happened after a campaign went live.
With a small team and 100 clients within its first year, Melon Local began putting that idea to work.
Since then, our reach has expanded beyond insurance into industries including health and wellness and law. We’ve introduced Melon Max internet and phone leads to help create more opportunities for customer conversations and expanded Melon University to help business owners and their teams put new skills into practice.
The Patch looks different today. The reason we’re here still feels familiar.
Growing With Purpose. Rooted in Results.
Our growth means more when it helps move your business forward. Over the past year alone, we generated 24 million listing impressions and delivered 91,700 Melon Max calls. That’s visibility where people are searching and more opportunities for our clients to start a conversation.
Getting noticed is part of the job. What happens next matters, too. We want to help businesses turn that attention into inquiries, conversations and reasons for customers to choose them. That’s what keeps us building, improving and asking what else we can do for the people counting on us.
A Seventh Year Worth Celebrating
2026 has given us plenty of reasons to raise a glass:
- 25 new Melons joined the Patch, bringing more talent and support to the businesses we serve.
- 2026 Quantum Certified Workplace recognition, celebrating our investment in the people behind the work.
- Best Overall Company at BizX 2026, an achievement made possible by our team and clients.
- No. 15 on Inc.’s 2026 Regionals: Rocky Mountain list, marking another milestone in our growth.
Each achievement gives us something to celebrate. It also gives us a standard to keep building on, from how we support our team to how we show up for clients.
“When I look at the last seven years, I think about the people who took a chance on us and the team that gave them a reason to stay. We’ve grown, we’ve learned and we’ve pushed ourselves to do more for our clients. I’m proud of what we’ve built, but I’m even more excited about what we can help them accomplish next,” says Whitney Green-Olson.
As we head into year eight, we’ll keep asking how we can make marketing work harder for the businesses counting on us. That means staying curious, listening closely and giving our clients more reasons to feel confident about what comes next.
To our clients, our team and everyone who has cheered us on: thank you for being part of these seven years.
Here’s to growing together. The Patch has plenty more in store.
