Our Mission: To connect great local businesses with their customers. Soket was founded in 2010 by Marcel Crudele and Mark Tran to help great local businesses and their marketing partners easily manage and promote their business online in a meaningful and effective way - through event management and social engagement - and enabling local merchants to reach their audiences across social networks, local publications, online media and their own Website. We started with humble beginnings in Atlanta and have been inspired to bring our magic and values to support local businesses across the country. We’re partnering with local businesses, pr/marketing agencies and local media publishers to get the word out on the great local businesses.
