About Two Octobers

Rooted in People

We grow people and brands, and work towards an equitable society.

How we work

We lead with our hearts. Every decision, for our team and our clients, comes back to transparency, continuous improvement, and using our business as a force for good, which is why we're a certified B Corp.

Because people are what you're really buying with agency services, we treat our team as full humans first: cutting the busywork, investing in career growth through our digital marketing apprenticeship, and building collaborative relationships with clients instead of transactional ones.

None of that matters, though, if it doesn't move your business forward. We customize every engagement to your actual goals, and we've spent over a decade translating marketing technology into real business results, from early search ads to today's complex tracking integrations.

The story behind Two Octobers

It was October 2008, and our founders Nico and Kris were product leads at a startup building local search and advertising tools for yellow pages. They shared a people-first management style, and a passion for technology-driven efficiency, and voiced the thought: “what if we built a digital marketing agency together?” A year later—the next October—they decided to go for it. That's where the name comes from: the two Octobers that incubated the idea.

Nico brought years of search marketing experience, having built one of the first search ad management tools (GoToast) and worked with agencies across the US and Europe as it was first acquired by Acquantive and then Microsoft. Kris came from software product management, skilled at bridging technology, marketing, and the humans in between.

Two Octobers launched in 2010, and we've been helping businesses navigate digital advertising, SEO, and analytics ever since.

We don’t do this alone

No single company changes the world, so we are proud to be part of communities trying to do better.

We work with you, not just for you

We help your team become more capable, sharing our knowledge and working collaboratively rather than working in a black box. That includes one-on-one training so in-house and agency teams can grow their strengths. You're getting powerhouse service that also builds internal capability.

We build career pathways

Marketing shouldn't require an expensive degree to break into. Our Registered Apprenticeship, backed by the U.S. Department of Labor and the JFF Employer Pledge, creates real pathways into well-paying digital marketing careers. Hire an apprentice at your company.

We're certified to back it up

We're a proud B Corp, which means an independent standard holds us accountable to using business as a force for good. It means we think bigger—not just how to improve our business for our team and our clients, but for the wider community.

We show up, locally and nationally

We're active members of Good Business Colorado, B Local Colorado, and WeTheChange, communities of businesses pushing each other to do better, together.
