Our Founders Story /
Diving Into The Deep Blue
Born into a line of entrepreneurs and raised in Los Angeles, Jason Gilbert has never feared pushing past obstacles or creating new possibilities. So, in 1996, when he reached a crossroads – continuing to work for the family business or following his keen sense of opportunity in emerging technology- he dove into the digital age wholeheartedly.
“We work in such an exciting space. The sense of adventure and endless possibilities is always present, driving us to think different and co-create work that inspires, transforms, and drives results.”
Jason Gilbert
Founder, CEO, Renegade, Fearless Captain
To gain experience, Jason joined a large web design agency. He loved his work but with one big exception. He wasn’t convinced that this conventional model was best for his clients or the industry’s evolution. Limited services, inefficient, slow, and wasteful, with considerable overhead, made it impossible to service small to mid-sized companies looking for an agency partner to grow alongside them. He envisioned a new type of agency—one that was lean and agile, where he could always have the best-in-class talent and offer a wide range of services, making digital greatness attainable to all businesses no matter what size.
When contemplating the agency name, Jason, an avid surfer, understood the power and mystery of the ocean and the magic beneath its surface. As an excellent metaphor for the digital world, The Ocean Group name was coined, and a new agency was born.
After two decades of evolution and innovation, our outlook on what's to come is as enthusiastic as the day we started. We've never been so ready to be your digital change partner to secure your long-term success.
