Our Foundations
Our Founder and CEO
Our Founder and CEO, Seth Viebrock, built his first web design business at the age of 16 in the 90's when the internet was still coming together.
After multiple endeavors in the business word as a network security data analyst, eCommerce web software engineer, startup CTO, and building web sites for famous artists like Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey, he decided it was time to do his own thing — wanting to follow best practices, constant improvement, and solid processes. It was at that point in 2010 when he founded O8.
Seth's education is in economics, computer science, linguistics (speaking 7 languages), and biopsychology with ongoing studies in marketing, sales, and all things digital — UX, SEO, CRO, messaging, neuromarketing, marketing and business process automation, and now AI....all balanced by a keen interest in the arts and humanities.
O8 grew into a technical digital marketing agency naturally with Seth leading not just the company but the strategy, the culture, and the good-natured, smart people who make O8 what it is today.
