64k was founded at the beginning of 1996. At that time, CD-Rom was the predominant multimedia delivery system. Traditional advertising and design agencies didn’t take the Internet seriously. But Matt saw the potential of the Internet and the impact it would soon have on everyday life. The need was there for an agency that could help companies position their business and build their brands on-line.Within a year 64k’s business philosophy, of specialising only in Internet solutions, attracted a number of blue-chip clients, including Arthur Andersen, Bloomberg, Bath Rugby and Chartered Trust. By focusing on this philosophy, 64k grew rapidly into one of the most respected agencies in the UK. By the end of 2001 creating award-winning campaigns for Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola, Bayer, Deutsche Bank, Nestlé and Yoplait.
