Based in Decatur, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, Traktion was founded in 2017 by industry veterans Ryan Woolley and Jon Eggleton. The two saw an opportunity to deliver digital agency and consulting services without the high overhead and layered account teams prevalent in more traditional firms. They continue to lead each and every client engagement, and manage a flexible team of senior-level marketers and creative personnel customized to meet individual client needs.
