Certificate Vignette Originally known as Organic Online before changing its name to Organic Inc., the company was founded as the first marketing & advertising agency focused solely on the Internet. They created the internet's first banner ads, which ran on HotWired. Organic completed an initial public offering in February 2000, but like many dot-com companies, Organic was adversely affected when the Dot-com bubble burst and drastically reduced its size. It was re-privatized in 2001, and in 2003, became a wholly owned subsidiary of advertising holding company Omnicom Group.
