| I have spent some 25 years full time in
the online industry which means I pre-date
the web :-) I consider that the web is the
greatest communications tool that we've
ever had and yet most organisations and
businesses do not use it to communicate
other than to post up what most people
would consider a promotional brochure.

| As my 40th birthday seems to be rapidly
approaching I guess you could say I've
been around enough to know a few things.
I've worked within most types of media
from outdoor billboards, to radio, to
national and regional press. This
experience has enabled me to set up The
Media Cube as a full service agency,
bringing that same broad national
experience to smaller clients so they can
get a level of service that wouldn't
register on the big blue chip agency
radar. Give us a call and see how we can
help you. |

| I am Co-Founder and CEO of
ZeppelinDesign.com, an Interactive Web
Agency that stands for high altitude
Corporate Branding and Interactive
Advertising.
My story has nothing unusual – 10 years
ago I started as a freelancer in a
relatively new field (namely the Internet)
for which I was prepared and where I saw a
huge development potential. Everything
worked out just fine (meaning tons of
coffee and barely a few days of vacation
in the first years), so I was able to set
the bases of the Zeppe
lin Design company along with my
associate, Adrian Nen, a visual artist
with a highly complex experience who
shared and creatively completed my
vision.
As a Full-Service Interactive Agency, we
provide basic and specialized services in
the field of online marketing to clients
interested in building, consolidating or
optimizing a viable marketing strategy on
the Internet. |
