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.

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.

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.

Zakery's
methodology

Businesses are like snowflakes, each one requires unique attention. However, here is the most popular method to streamline project acquisition and execution.

Zakery's
methodology

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.

Process

Business & Systems Analysis

I begin with a full audit of your business model, customer journey, and data infrastructure — uncovering where systems, marketing, and operations intersect or break down.

Identify Growth Levers & Constraints

Through deep quantitative and qualitative analysis, I isolate the inputs that drive growth and the structural frictions that limit it — from acquisition inefficiencies to data fragmentation.

Design a Scalable Growth Architecture

Together, we create a modular growth framework that integrates paid strategy, AI-assisted automation, and financial forecasting — designed to scale with your operational reality.

Execute & Automate

I lead execution and integration across marketing, analytics, and internal teams — deploying systems that replace guesswork with automation and ensure scalability through AI-driven workflows.

Measure, Optimize, and Evolve

Growth systems are dynamic. I continue as a strategic advisor — monitoring KPIs, improving model accuracy, and refining automation loops to maintain efficiency as your business scales.

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”.
