It all started with a plan: simple, easy to accomplish goals.
Step 1. Introduce Transactional Media to the US Market (and make it SEXY).
Step 2. Win big new contracts
Step 3. World Domination!
So we began building Team Texas. Yeehaw!
With just 3 people, i-Transact Media may be small now but we're not alone in the US.
We've got a fantastic team in Atlanta and across the globe supporting us in our goals.
After meeting up with our Atlanta friends, it was time to start the adventure!
We were off to introduce ourselves to our partners across the pond, i-transact UK.
It was like the movie, "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." We had some minor transportation snafus.
This didn't bother or irritate us at all after 30 solid hours of traveling. : - )
But the UK folks were extremely welcoming immediately throwing us a party at noon their time!
There was even food and alcoholic beverages like some sort of buzzing paradise. Or maybe it was just the sleep deprivation.
Exhausted and jetlagged, we had the time of our lives meeting so many amazing advertising professionals.
We had a blast! We even tried to smuggle a few of our British buddies back to the US with us.
Alas, it was time to go home...
Then we quickly realized we didn't yet have a work home! We scrambled to sign a lease, get an office and get started!
We literally started logging on daily with our laptops in Rob (President of i-transact, US)'s garage.
After what felt like an eternity (about a week), we got the keys to our renovated warehouse/loft studio office in downtown Houston!
Then it was moving day and with a lot of blood, sweat and tears things finally started coming together.
They say everything's bigger in Texas... hopefully it's big enough for us!
"Houston, we are go for launch!"
