z2010-2011DCS Guest Speakers - Tony Neary and Tom Kisker of Traction

Get More Traction from Your Creative Career

How do you translate exuberant creative energy into a viable career with big-name brands? Find out Tuesday, Sept. 21. When Dayton Creative Syndicate with the support of, the school of advertising art and The Greater Dayton Advertising Association, present guest speakers Tony Neary and Tom Kisker of 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.

The plan of launching Traction came to fruition in early 2007.

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

For over a decade Tom Kisker led creative development for P&G brands including Pringles, Prilosec OTC, and Pepto Bismol. In addition, Tom has led creative initiatives for Link's Snacks, Mercury Marine, Miller Brewing, The Kroger Company and many others. As a life long Cincinnati sports fan he knows more than he should about fan loyalty.
