		This agency was the first interactive marketing firm. Since 1987, we've helped many of the world's largest Fortune 500 companies make their interactive channels profitable. Along the way, we invented many of the interactive strategies people take for granted today: We built the first online shopping environment, pioneered the integration of e-commerce with existing database systems, and built the first consumer-product Web site. We were the first to place Internet ads and the first to introduce an Internet ad-measurement model. We have designed Web sites and marketing programs for consumer products giants, diversified business-to-business companies, and government entities (we even built the first White House site in 1995). We help clients with every stage: interactive marketing, research, planning, execution, and ongoing optimization. Clients rely on us to identify and acquire customers - and use interactive channels to keep them, while making every marketing dollar more productive. Partial list of clients: Allianz, Charles Schwab, Delta Air Lines, Dice, Inc., Eastern Mountain Sports, General Motors Europe, Heineken USA, Hewlett Packard, Kraft Foods, Marriott, Microsoft, Sony, and Wyeth Consumer Healthcare. www.modemmedia.com Laura Agostini, Senior Vice President, Talent Management As senior vice president, talent management for Modem Media, Laura oversees all talent and human resource activities and interactions related to the day-to-day business.
