Todd Purgason

Digital Creative Direction & Strategy Consultant

Dana Point, CA, USA
As co-founder of Juxt, a notable pioneer in the digital space, I spent 15 years leading a group of highly creative, capable and adventurous team members. Through this journey we helped guide a diverse range of clients, Coca-cola, Target, Scion, Toyota, X-box to name just a few, through the birth and evolution of digital.

Following Juxt, I co-founded SRSLY, a social mobile network, focused of helping young people express how they’re feeling in creative and meaningful ways. Most recently, I served as a creative leader and mentor at Envoy, an emerging digital product and marketing agency in Southern California.

Work Experience

SRSLY Inc

Founder Chief Creative Officer

In 2013 I co-founded SRSLY, a cause based mobile social network startup. At the time all social networks lacked any emotional expression tools, beyond the woefully inadequate “Like” button. We built SRSLY to empower members to express how they’re feeling in a simple fun, creative and most importantly meaningful way.
