I founded, Lazyboy, as an interactive agency to design and develop ad campaigns, games and websites for the nondigital agencies.Lazyboy was a fantastic creative arm of Web Entertainment supporting revenue through expanded services including the development of websites, ecommerce stores, interactive games, campaign sites, merchandising and even clothing designs for a chain of kids stores throughout Australia, New Zealand and the UK.As a full service agency Lazyboy worked in print, web and rich media applications for end clients including Coke, 3, Redbull & Heineken.
