This was my first position out of university and my role was quite flexible. I managed a team of artists and developers who produced web sites for corporate clients including Nandos, Standard Bank Fund Managers, FNB, Datatec, Visa Gold Asia and others. For a while my time was dedicated to finding the new new thing and I also headed up a new initiative to produce emergency corporate sites within 24 hours. The team was jokingly called "the marines" and failed miserably because clients couldn't give us their requirements fast enough. I eventually left in a fit of rage (young as I was) because the company tried to give a personal project I had been working on with some colleagues to a client as a complete solution.
