At that time, the sector wasn’t well established in Central Europe and there was an understandable fear whether Poland and Polish companies are ready for new marketing solutions. Besides, there weren’t any Polish solutions of that kind, so my thought was simple: someone has to do the first step! Was it risky? Yes, it was.
