Our satisfied clients:

Hey there 👋 We’re Zak & Zu, a digital marketing agency based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Something we take pride in is our partnership approach: we get to know your business and your goals, and we treat them like our own. We’d love to learn about your needs and explore how we can help you reach your goals.

Some of our core strengths include:

Content
Marketing

Bring customers to you with the content they want — from an informative webinar, app note, or blog post to convincing case studies and brochures.

Paid Media/
Advertising

From paid social (e.g. LinkedIn Ads) to paid search (Google Ads) and direct buys (e.g. Nature) — we can get you in front of your customers everywhere they spend time online.

Email
Marketing

Not all leads are ready to become customers right away, and not all customers return without continued effort. Use email marketing to nurture your relationships.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What kinds of companies do you work with?

We work with organizations of all sizes — from seed stage startups to publicly traded multinational corporations — as well as nonprofits, NGOs, and private-public joint ventures. And although we are based in the San Francisco Bay Area, our work and impact have a global footprint.

How do you charge for your services?

We offer you the flexibility of choosing between project-based and recurring monthly "bucket of hours" pricing. We also have discounted pricing available for startups and not-for-profit organizations.

Do you have any minimum contract lengths?

We tailor our service agreements to your specific needs. If you're not happy, you're free to discontinue working with us at any time without any cancellation fees. Of course, we're confident that you'll love working with us and will achieve your greatest goals with our partnership!

Do you travel?

Yes! Whether you'd like to brainstorm together in person or need us to join you at a tradeshow or at a customer site, we are ready to hit the road 🚗 ✈️

Do you play nice with others?

We love to collaborate—teamwork makes the dream work! If you already have agencies, consultants, and contractors in place for specific expertise (such as an agency that manages your Salesforce instance), we are happy to plug in and get to work adding our unique value to the mix.

What's the story behind Zak & Zu?

Zuhayr Mallam, the founder of Zak & Zu, grew up loving science and was passionate about using it to make a positive impact on the world. After some career trial and error — with stints in the lab, teaching K-12, and in medical school — he discovered marketing and fell in love with it. Now he enjoys spending his work day thinking about creative ways to use digital media to get innovative technologies into the hands of scientists and clinicians — who can then use them to improve human health, feed our growing population, and more. Of course Zak & Zu is a team effort and, over the years, we have built a strong core of passionate creators, strategists, and technologists who share this mission and a love for science communication.
