LASZLO PELSOCZY
FOUNDER
I first aimed at being an actor in 1968 when I became a student at the National Theater’s Academy. Since then – disregarding smaller interruptions – I have been continuously part of the Hungarian theatrical life. During my career, I challenged myself in every genre. This way, I could perform the characters of Romeo, D’Artagnan and many more. I also played in musicals, TV series, movies, operettas, tragedies, and comedies. Out of all the performances I gave, my most memorable character was the first, the legendary “Stephen, the king” Hungarian rock-opera having performed it in Királydomb, Szeged and the movie.
Due to the changes in the ’90s from my original profession, I had a straight road leading into the world of advertising which brought the idea of founding a company, and this way, I became one of the founders of Saxon Ltd, and in a couple of years, the executive manager of Saxon-Media Ltd.

PAL REMETE
DESIGNER
My stage name is “PAYA”, and I was born in Budapest. I have been working as a creative for more than 20 years, 10 of which I have spent at Saxon. For me, this job means not merely work, but also my hobby. The best ideas tend to find me in the most unexpected moments: riding the bus or the tram or walking in nature.
When it comes to creative work, it is true in more than one way that a genuinely great creative output cannot be forced. And one more thing: you have to love what you are doing! Nowadays, I help the Saxon team as a consultant.

CSABA FORIS
3D Graphics
I started my career as a cartoon animator at Pannónia Film Studio. I was one of the first ones to explore the field of 3D animation at the beginning of the 1990s. One of my first independent jobs was to design a logo for Saxon, a firm that was being launched just then. The logo has since been redesigned, but its foundation remains my idea. This “encounter” became a defining one in both my and Saxon’s further careers. We have since then completed several 3D figurines, animations, and commercial spots together, continuing to work as a team up to these days.
