Tony Neary, founding partner of Traction as well as a talented designer and illustrator, has led creative development for multiple P&G brands as well as several national and global brands including Dave¹s Gourmet, Coca-Cola and MeadWestvaco [although, the contingency plan of enrolling in rodeo clown school is still a viable option].

Want to know more about Traction?

Traction believes in great creative, a strong work ethic, cheering for the home team, that family comes first, asking questions, that charcoal grilled burgers taste far better than ones from a gas grill, that typography is king, asking more questions, that Cake puts on a great live show, that despite the conventional wisdom you should be attached to your work, that Van Halen is way better with David Lee Roth, that you're only as old as you feel and that Saul Bass was a genius. We believe in making an impression that gains momentum.
