grudgingly moving to London in 1994 to launch pioneering music
portal IUMA Europe (internet underground music database – a
forerunner to Mp3.com & iTunes). While preaching the internet he was
approached by Radio 1 to work on their first interactive outing –
which provided seed funding to found Obsolete, one of the UK's first
web agencies. In 1997 Jon co-founded Lateral with Simon Crab and
David Jones. In 2000 he co-founded the über-tech elite
LShift.
Instrumental in planning numerous award winning online campaigns and

Pete Robins - Co-Founder,
Agenda21
Pete was grabbed from the world of traditional media planning and
buying by the golden glow of digital media way back in 1996, and has
been ploughing his digital trade ever since. His windy but
enthusiastic and purposeful path has taken him via Modem Media, to
his own agency media21 in1999, to co-running MediaCom’s digital
division for 4 years, having sold media21 to Grey Global Group. He
was listed 3rd in Campaign’s ‘Online Pioneers’ top 10 and 2nd in the
Media Planners Top 10. Other than that he’s a bit short, loves a
good film, likes fish and chips, owns a weird beard and is a bit odd
as he passionately competes at triathlons. He was last seen
pedalling away into the distance on one of his bikes across the
Surrey hills!
