Matrix Marketing was a full-service marketing communications firm specialising in the ICT industry. Despite working up to 15.5 hours a day at times, this was a fun gig. I was one of three directors at this agency. All was good until a dispute emerged, pitting two directors against one. Expensive commercial lawyers got involved. Finally, one of the other directors and I said, in almost melodic unison, "To heck with this, let's open our own agency." Days later Odyssey Marketing was born.
