About Zakery

"I partner with ambitious startups and growth-stage companies to bridge the gap between business strategy and marketing execution.

With over five years of consulting experience across 75+ brands and $75M+ in attributable annual revenue, I’ve worked alongside founders, venture capitalists, and accelerators across North America — helping brands build marketing systems that scale intelligently and sustainably.

My approach is grounded in the science of consumer behaviour, blending brand strategy, business modeling, and performance marketing into unified growth frameworks. I believe real marketing impact happens when you connect what the business needs with what the customer values — and that’s the space I specialize in building."

Ghazal Elhaei
Producer, Director, Writer, Capital G Media Inc.
With Zak, I could immediately notice something different; he took the work much more seriously. He was able to ask really good questions to get to the root of the situation… then he took it, and ran with it. His work ethic is unmatched - he constantly thinks of new ways to improve himself, and that bleeds out into all the work he does as well.
Nick Giovacchini
Founder of Large Scale Distribution Growth Marketing Agency
Zakery has a clear understanding of current trends and, more importantly, remains committed to keeping learning, and benefiting his company and his clients. He is a good listener, enabling him to deeply understand client needs and analyze specific market situations. In addition to his technical adeptness, I’m impressed with his responsiveness and ability to quickly provide solution options in a manner that differentiates him from competitors.
Phillip Rubel
Managing Partner Song Sparrow Advisory & Adjunct Professor University of Victoria
Zak’s the type of person who will constantly push himself to greater heights with the myriad of projects he takes on, but who still finds the time to volunteer and support others in his communities.  With his grounded demeanour, swiftness of complex thought, and kind way of showing appreciation to others, it is no wonder that many people (including myself) see his maturity surpassing his age.

Every business is unique — but a proven framework brings clarity to complex growth challenges.

Here’s the streamlined process I use to move projects from strategy to execution.

Business Analysis

I conduct a comprehensive audit of your business model, value proposition, and growth objectives — followed by an external review of your industry landscape, competitive positioning, and market benchmarks.

Identify Strengths and Painpoints

Building on the initial analysis, I uncover your company’s key strengths, competitive advantages, and operational constraints — identifying the factors that will accelerate or inhibit sustainable growth.

Curate a Strategy to Scale

Then, I develop a custom business and marketing strategy aligned to your brand goals, operational realities, and growth constraints — creating a flexible roadmap designed to match your development pace and investment priorities.

Execute the Project

Based on the strategic plan, I lead the execution of all project components — directly managing contractors, channel specialists, and internal teams as needed. This ensures seamless coordination across stakeholders and eliminates internal bottlenecks often caused by managing multiple vendor relationships.

Initiate, Manage, Optimize, and Report

Post-implementation, I stay engaged as a strategic advisor — leading ongoing performance management, optimization, and reporting. Using advanced analytics platforms, experimentation frameworks, and dynamic visualization tools, I monitor KPIs, optimize growth levers, and facilitate strategic sessions with key stakeholders to ensure alignment to business outcomes.

01

Business Analysis

I conduct an in-depth internal analysis of your business model, value propositions and overall company goals. Then, an external analysis of your relevant industry, competitive landscape, and existing benchmarks.

02

Identify Strengths and Painpoints

I use my initial research to complete a market analysis, identifying your company's strengths and competitive advantages, as well as pain points and constraints that will inhibit sustainable growth.

03

Currate a Strategy to Scale

Then, I construct a business and marketing strategy custom to your brand goals and business constraints, creating a flexible solution that fits your development pace and overall budget.

04

Execute the Project

Based on the strategy, I will execute my range of services, and additionally manage contractors, channel specialists, or your internal team, to execute your project. Thus, eliminating any internal bottlenecks in managing multiple subcontractor relationships.

05

Initiate, Manage, Optimize, and Report

I then utilize modern quantitative tools and SAAS to provide ongoing management and consulting post-project implementation. This includes analytical optimizations, data experimentations and visualizations, asynchronous walkthroughs, and regular check-ins to debrief internal team members and review KPIs.

ZAKERY'S PHILOSOPHY

Few contemporary creators have figured out how to speak the evolving language of this generation without fading into the white noise or pre-assigned market share”.
