O8

Business information
An Agency for Marketing Teams, Delivering Technical Expertise, Strategy, and Flexibility

We are a Minnesota-based agency that offers digital marketing, strategy, and web services. Our main mission is to create the best agency environment for skilled people from all over the world. That is based on the belief that only the best, long-retained, happy people can provide the best service and results to our clients.

We believe your digital ecosystem should be continually measured, tested, automated, and improved over time. Our vast web design, digital marketing, strategy, and technical expertise maximizes our ability to do so while driving ROI. We're here to ensure your success in the ever-changing and technically-complex world of digital marketing and, above all, to have your back!

Our Four Key Promises To You

1. We Have You Covered Holistically

We won't let you down when it comes to your ads and traffic (SEO+), user experience (UX), or well-converting designs and landing pages (CRO). We call the holistic intersection of all three areas DIO™️. Other agencies tend to specialize in one or two areas and let the others slide.

2. We're as Careful of Your Budget as You Are

Other agencies are always looking to get you to spend money on something you may very well not need or probably shouldn’t spend money on. If something goes awry, we'll work to make it fair and right.

3. Results Over Opinions

Results matter more than our opinions, but it's our expertise that allows us to ask the right questions in the first place. The best data always wins out over opinions, even our own. We're willing to be wrong, based on the data, and share our learnings with you.

4. You Have Complete Control

Other agencies tend to trap you into long-term contracts and take possession of your data and hosting access. We aim to always Do What's Right, retaining clients based on relationships and quality results – not contracts – while ensuring you have control where you want it, support where you need it, and plenty of knowledge transfer.

Commitments

1. Diversity and Inclusion

O8 is committed to giving you a diverse and inclusive environment during our partnership.
We are a multicultural team that has taken the MN Tech Diversity Pledge and is a certified LGBT Business Enterprise.

2. Sustainability and The Environment

O8 is committed to a low carbon footprint. By making websites lean, fast, and more efficient, we reduce environmental impact.

The 2% of global carbon emissions come from the electricity used by the internet, equivalent to the entire aviation industry or the world's 6th worst polluting country.

3. Open Source Contributions

As a collective, O8 makes code, financial, and volunteer-based contributions to Drupal, WordPress, and other open source communities and attends related events worldwide.
