Context: Our current incarnation as a new media company began as a “skunk works” operation code-named Fistnote in 1998. We were, at the time, part of a much larger advertising agency in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Since then, we have been developing websites, intranet sites, corporate annual reports and software applications for virtually all types of business, government agencies and associations.
