Traction Taps Abe Snyder to Launch New-Breed Agency Media Practice
Former AKQA Vet Brings Unique Perspective to Award-Winning Interactive Shop
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/13 -- Traction (), the San Francisco-based, award-winning interactive creative agency, has hired Abraham Snyder to be the first Media Director in the history of the shop. CEO and co-founder Adam Kleinberg, who launched Traction in 2001, is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Snyder to the agency's senior management team, where he will be charged in creating a strategic media practice that defies the traditional ethos of most modern agencies. Mr. Snyder was most recently an Associate Media Director at AKQA in San Francisco.
"We are excited to have Abe here because he is a kindred spirit with his new friends at Traction, where we value the potent nexus between technology and psychology," said Mr. Kleinberg. "He promises to focus chiefly on understanding the psychology behind audience behavior to inform innovative creative, content and other communications decisions."
"Why now?" continued Kleinberg, "The media landscape has shifted. Many media agencies are invested in teams, tools, contracts and processes that prevent them from taking advantage of all this innovation at a rapid pace. We are coming into the space with a strong perspective and a blank slate."
"Technology has to be the backbone for intelligent media strategy, but it's also vital for streamlined execution and operations," said Mr. Snyder, "which in this day and age is integral to an agency's success. I clearly see that philosophical DNA here at Traction."
Mr. Snyder has worked in media since 2006 creating dynamic, inventive media strategies for a wide range of B2B and B2C clients including Clorox, Hewlett-Packard, Alibaba.com & Sega. His experience and expertise span branding, direct response, demand generation, promotional and social media initiatives. Through these efforts, he has developed specialties in research, strategy, planning, and execution of digital, mobile, social, emerging technology and traditional media campaigns.
Besides AKQA, Mr. Snyder has also done stints at Universal McCann, Omnicom Media Group and Mediasmith.
Traction is an award-winning interactive creative agency that was started in 2001 by Adam Kleinberg, CEO; Theo Fanning, Executive Creative Director; and Paul Giese, Technology Director. The agency employs 42 people in its San Francisco office and works with brand marketer clients including Adobe, Walmart and Bank of America.
