About Us
Arthur Kougias
Co-Founder, "Right Brain"
Arthur grew up in the small town (big heart) of Swanton, Vermont running around in his dad's pizza restaurant and getting into mischief: running after the garbage truck at three years old, replacing employees' water with vinegar, and pouring sugar in the alley to "see what happens" (the answer is A LOT of bees).
Nowadays, Arthur spends his time thinking of innovative marketing strategies and new "out of the sphere" ("out of the box" has become "in the box") ad ideas for clients. In his spare time, Arthur likes to make pizza from scratch, which he claims (and others do too) is the best pizza in New York City.
Matyas Tamas
Co-Founder, "Left Brain"
Matyas spent his younger years looking at ants (we have a picture that proves it). This "hip" lad spent his high school years in popular activities such as physics club, listening to pentatonic music from Nilo-Saharan and Finno-Ugric countries, and trying to imagine the fourth dimension. After spending some time studying theoretical physics, and turning down two extraordinary (in hindsight) opportunities with Facebook and the Obama campaign, Matyas wanted to make the third time a charm.
Nowadays, Matyas spends his time working with clients, chatting with Freepsters at universities, hacking out code for the SMS server, and dealing with the nuts and bolts of the business. In his copious free time, Matyas can be found chilling out at jazz clubs, or talking in Japanese to sushi chefs in Midtown.
