Traction founded and curates The Futureproof Project—a community of 350+ CMOs and marketing leaders that meet regularly to share challenges and learnings about AI and other emerging technology.
The conversations don’t stop at the table. They inform how we think about brands, how marketing organizations work, and what we build next.
350+ brand members

In the mind of a customer, you get to be one thing. That has been true since long before anyone trained a language model. It's the foundation for how we design a brand at Traction. I recently spoke on an America Marketing Association panel during Tech Week SF and was asked about the shift to AI marketing and how it impacts branding.
The knowledge needed to make a good decision usually exists somewhere in the organization. The people making the decision just don't have it. That's the gap a marketing context engine is built to close — and it's the standard I'd use to judge any AI-generated marketing that lands on my desk.
Marketing leaders are being handed powerful AI machinery with no instruction manual. The CMO's job is shifting — from channel operator to product leader — without any diminished expectation to deliver business outcomes along the way.
Let's get you traction.
Tell us what needs to happen—and what’s getting in the way. We’ll bring the right people into the conversation, whether the answer is a stronger brand, a better launch, or a different way of getting the work done.
