Meet Our Team
Co-founders Rob Spurlock and Paul Gibson brought together their web design, development, and hosting experience in 2008 to form VIEO Design. Their goal was to "weave together" their creative and techological talents, so they chose a Latin name that means exactly that.

VIEO started to become the web design agency we are today when Holly Yalove joined the team in 2009 as the CMO. Her considerable marketing and corporate management skills were essential to the growth we would experience in the coming years.

For VIEO, 2013 was a year of change. We implemented our first national ad campaign, became a HubSpot partner agency, and almost doubled in size. It not only brought us a number of our leadership team members; 2013 also set the tone for the company we are today.

VIEO spread the word about the benefits of inbound marketing campaigns in 2015 — and people listened. Holly and VIEO were featured in Cityview magazine’s “Knoxville’s Women in Media,” discussing VIEO’s commitment to great customer service and the power of a great inbound strategy.

We're beautiful inside and out! In 2016, VIEO received an award for "Top 51 Visually Appealing Websites Using Inbound Marketing" for the first time (we earned another one in 2018)! Turns out people love our "eye-catching design" and user-friendly layout.

As an advocate of inbound marketing, the VIEO team spends a lot of time cultivating our informative and pun-fueled blog. In 2017, we were thrilled to see just how helpful it’s been—the blog was included as #31 in the Top 100 Inbound Marketing Blogs!

VIEO has grown into a tight-knit team of 15. Still obsessed with high-quality, cutting-edge marketing, we have begun exploring Growth-Driven Marketing, a more nimble, data-driven approach to marketing plans. We use a full range of digital and traditional creative services to deliver impressive ROI—that how we became one of only 14 HubSpot Partners in the U.S. with all possible HubSpot certifications.

VIEO (pronounced "VEE-oh") is a Latin word meaning “to weave together.”
Our co-founders Rob Spurlock and Paul Gibson came up with our unique name before VIEO even had a website, inspired by the way they were weaving together the artistic and technical elements of web design and marketing.
Little did they know that years down the road, they would be getting search traffic for "vieo XXX" and other, shall we say, unrelated search terms involving a misspelling of the word "video."
Even though our name began as a bit of a stumbling block, the search engine optimization (SEO) skills that we've honed over the years have helped us not only overcome that challenge, but go on to become one of Alexa's top 150,000 sites in the world.
Sure, sometimes we get distracted for a few minutes by a funny viral video or spend too long debating whether light sabers are possible, but who we are is key to what we do. Our creative energy is the source of our innovative ideas and quality-driven work ethic, and we give each project everything we’ve got.
