Tragic Media was founded in 2009 by Rich Rudzinski after leaving his job at a large national agency in San Diego. Rich saw a growing gap in the digital service landscape. Existing marketing and design agencies were ill-equiped to scope and manage the growing complexity of emerging technologies.
He saw the tragic way that client projects were treated at these agencies either being outsourced and poorly built overseas or hobbled together by under-skilled internal resources. Ultimately the solutions that were delivered were riddled with technical debt and not built to scale.
Initially Tragic served as a white-label resource for other agencies helping to save them from their own development tragedies. Slowly the company pivoted to bring trusted reliable software development services directly to businesses.
Over the last decade Rich has built a team of technical experts - and more importantly a brand - focused on providing expert technical support and solutions for companies of all sizes.
Tragic#39;s first big ongoing project was building TaylorMade Golf#39;s marketing emails and managing their Yahoo web store.
Our CEO was nominated for the San Diego 2020 Top Tech Awards
Initially Tragic worked solely as a white-label development service for larger agencies acting as the 911 call when projects needed immediate expert development that couldn#39;t be handled in-house.
Since 2019 we have partnered with the San Diego chapter of the American Marketing Association to support their org#39;s tech and share insights to the marketing community.
Our first office was 3 rented desks in the corner of a local Drupal agency. We now occupy the historic San Diego Mayor#39;s office just a half-block down 5th avenue from our first location.
In 2013 Tragic had the opportunity to rebuild Pixar.com after a local agency outsourced the project abroad and it came back... less than Pixar ready.
