I was one of three who helped build the New Media department at this B2B ad agency. Besides the odd printed matter design, web was the focus. In the beginning one did what was necessary to get everything working - this included working as BBS Sysop, network administrator, web designer, web programmer, information designer.... I also helped set up the Stockholm and the Brussels offices.
