History

First Decade...three names, two recessions and still growing strong!

Hello,

It is with sincere gratitude to our loyal Customers that I write this entry - thank you, thank you, thank you.

We started out in mid 1999 as a web hosting provider during the dot-com boom, and were based out of a spare room in the house that my wife and I were renting. Our name was Getting U Online and we provided free websites in exchange for long term hosting contracts.

We racked up quite a few customers early on, began adding staff and moved to our first office space in 2000. It was shortly thereafter that we realized that high-design, interactive ads, e-commerce and database driven websites were much more fun to work on than five page brochure websites. In addition, we learned that when we called a potential client the caller ID cut off the last letters so the display would read, "Getting U On.” It was time for a change.

We sold our hosting division in 2001 and renamed ourselves Zertia. During this time we shifted our focus away from doing simple sites to designing and building more complex and exciting websites and advertisements on behalf of Eric Clapton, Seagram, DS Medical, Ford, Steely Dan, and UPS.

In 2004 we merged with a long time partner company and assumed their name. In late 2007 I bought my partners out and renamed the company Zertia once again. We then re-located to our current headquarters in Sandy Springs and have built one of the finest teams of any agency in the business, adding great clients such as Qualcomm, Sage Software, Cisco, Manheim, Porter Novelli, Cbeyond and Masco along the way.

It’s been an amazing journey and it’s clear that our brightest days are still ahead of us. Our sincere thanks for your support and interest!
