Why The Octopus (Octavian)?
We’re often asked why we choose an octopus to represent us closely followed by, ” Why did you call him Octavian?”. What is the connection between digital marketing growth and Octavian.
Reasonable questions which deserve answers.
Octopuses are multitalented so the solopreneurs
Octopuses are amazing creatures, and truly multitalented.
They can change colour, have three hearts and can even taste with their skin!
Solopreneurs wear multi heads when running their businesses, they adapt quickly you can call that they change colours when necessary to adapt, they adapt and they may not have 3 hearts but they certainly have big hearts.
This characteristic is mirrored in Octavian, who is multitalented and responsible for 8 disciplines of digital marketing to help solopreneurs in their digital marketing growth and help the solopreneurs navigate digital marketing ecosystems.
Octopuses are highly intelligent so the solopreneurs
Octopuses are considered the most intelligent invertebrates in the world. They love learning and can quickly solve puzzles, such as how to open jars or escape from tanks—truly thinking outside the box!
Solopreneurs face puzzles every day. They love learning and solving problems, having embarked on their journey because they think outside the box from the start, which is essential to becoming a solopreneur.
This characteristic is also mirrored in Octavian, who is quite smart!
Octopuses are curious so the solopreneurs
Octopuses are curious creatures, always investigating their surroundings and trying to learn more about the world around them. Solopreneurs have a similar approach; they read blogs, watch YouTube videos, and learn about the digital marketing landscape and trends so they can manage their jobs until they grow and get help.
We love creating what we call “small favours” for curious solopreneurs who are continuously learning new things to establish and grow their business. Never stop learning.
Yes, But Why Octavian?
Octavian and octopus derive from the Latin root “octo,” meaning “eight.” This root appears in several terms related to the number eight, such as “octagon,” a geometric shape with eight sides. Octopuses, having eight tentacles, aptly symbolize a digital marketing service with many disciplines that need to work cohesively to drive better results. This makes Octavian perfect for representing Virtual Favour, as we are a one-stop-shop dedicated to the digital marketing success of solopreneurs in the digital ecosystem.
The name ‘Octavian’ traces back to Gaius Octavius Thurinus, who was later known as Emperor Augustus. He was named heir and adopted in the will of his great-uncle, Julius Caesar, becoming Octavian after Caesar’s death. We love Roman history and are always ready to chat about it.
