About

Did you know the first "About" section was introduced in 1993? We think.

founded in 2008

Zulu Alpha Kilo is a full-service creative agency with a strong belief that the world needs more creativity. Our name is the NATO phonetic spelling of our founder's name, Zak (not a frat). It's an agency moniker that defies the norm, just like the people who work here and the brands we're fortunate to work with.

Some nice things nice people have said about us.

In 2021, we announced the 20Doors Scholarship Fund. This initiative will cover the tuition for four BIPOC candidates each year over five years for a year-long, post-graduate program in copywriting or art direction.

The total investment in the program is $250,000. Since inception, we have awarded three more scholarships, bringing our total to eight.

Our talented recipients all receive mentorship from Z·A·K’s creative leaders to help prepare them for their careers. This initiative and others led to Zak being a finalist for Ad Age’s Diversity & Inclusion Champion of the Year.

We’re all personally committed to building a workplace that is diverse and a culture that is inclusive as we pursue our ultimate goal of bringing more creativity to the world.
