left gpj for actually being 'in' the city and more digital work. was a very interesting place with some cool people, great projects (esp. loved in the internal branding opps). but alas they had some cuts as often happens in the boston office (at least that's what they told me).

we did some fab digital work for hp, circuit city, subway, and lunesta—but last in, first out—then back to gpj when they promised to let me build the digital team.

1999 - 2000 (1 year)

awesome place to start when i moved to the area. learned a ton. worked with some amazing people on advertising and branding, campaign sites, and designed/built the first site for the agency.

left with the apparently mis-guided notion that the whole interactive thing was going to be aces back then and wanted to do more of it. great idea heading into 2001.
