As CEO of Online Optimism, Flynn Zaiger spends his day keeping his employees happy, his clients happier, and the office pups happiest.

Flynn graduated from Tulane University in the Spring of 2012, before getting a job in the corporate world. He spent six months there before deciding that he should try to create a better place to work and help business. With the many resources available to entrepreneurs in New Orleans, on October 8th, 2012 he created Online Optimism LLC, performing much-needed Internet marketing assistance to the many businesses of Louisiana. Over the years, that client base expanded and the team grew far beyond himself. In 2024, he moved with his wife Christine to New York City, running a hybrid agency that remains headquartered in New Orleans.

In addition to running Online Optimism, Flynn is actively involved in the community. He has spoken across the country on topics including digital marketing, analytics, and entrepreneurship. His expertise has led to being featured on Forbes.com, Inc.com, Entrepreneur.com, CIO.com, Social Media Today and the Washington Post for his leadership of our agency, though his proudest accomplishment is that one time he got Yahoo Finance to cite him in a piece on Taylor Swift.

He’s most likely to be found with his dog Pimms while in the office, getting climbed on by his cats Bea and Jama when working from home, or in the few hours he is not growing Online Optimism, playing chess with his family.
