The Creative Company: Expands team with award-winning journalist

MADISON, Wis. (July 9, 2026) – The Creative Company has expanded its team with the addition of Savanna Tomei-Olson. As PR & Multimedia Specialist, she will provide strategic public relations and media counsel to clients. She’ll also lead workshops and media training in non-profit, education, and business sectors.

Tomei-Olson brings extensive experience helping audiences understand complex issues through clear, compelling storytelling across print, radio, and television. Many in Wisconsin will recognize her from her work on the anchor desk and as an investigative journalist at WKOW in Madison, Spectrum News, WQOW in Eau Claire, and most recently Civic Media, where she served as Assistant News Director for the statewide radio news team.

“Savanna’s deep connections in Wisconsin and the Madison community have already had a positive impact on our work,” said Laura Gallagher, president of The Creative Company. “We actually met in 2015 when she was reporting in Madison and worked together on a few stories then. She bolsters our existing PR and crisis communication services with her decade-plus of experience in news. She’ll counsel clients on how to shape conversations, earn trust, and strengthen their reputations. It’s my pleasure to welcome her to the team and to a new career with The Creative Company.” 

Having covered education, government, healthcare, and business across Wisconsin, Tomei-Olson brings strong media relationships, sharp news judgment, and a journalist’s perspective to client work. She will support accounts through public relations, media relations, and multimedia campaigns.

“Storytelling is my passion, and I’m excited to use that passion at The Creative Company,” Tomei-Olson said. “It’s a privilege to help clients make the most of their moment.”

In May, Tomei-Olson won First Place at the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association 2025 Awards for her audio storytelling and editing. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Eastern Illinois University.
