“We’ve just got our photos back from the developers!”
No smart phones. Few had even seen a digital camera. People went to shops to get their photos developed. Can you imagine?
Records indicate this was a very different time. Computers only had two digits to record the year. Everyone was worried about this.
Not Simon Landi and John Neate. This was 1999 and they’d just celebrated the launch of their new advertising business. In just seven more years they’d be able to post pictures of their celebrations to Facebook.
One Millennium bug and a Mayan apocalypse later…
Access, we are fondly told, started as a conversation in the back of a taxi. No one can quite agree where this taxi came from or where it was going to, but the last 15 years have left plenty of landmarks for us to trace the evolution of the agency.
The 15 years of Access timeline tells the story of the agency – the work, the people, the clients, and era defining events that influenced us all.
Unlike our esteemed founders, we don’t have to wait five years to share a picture. Today, Access has all the developers it needs in-house. Here’s a selection of images from our 15th Birthday celebrations.
Here’s to the next 15!
