A BOSTON AGENCY WITH GLOBAL REACH
ZOZIMUS
We’ve generated $3 billion in revenue for our clients to date through our personalized campaigns and strategies.
When we founded this agency over 20 years ago, we set out to do something different. We wanted to create an agency that put our clients and their challenges headfirst – as a team.
We understand that you can’t jam a prescriptive service down someone’s throat just because it fits your agenda. Instead, we made the decision to work together with our clients to discover and define the best solutions to address their individual needs.
There are two ways to approach media: outspend, or outsmart. At Zozimus, we believe the latter is the optimal approach, even if a partner is able to outspend competitors. We believe that identifying the right audience and data driven targeting helps our clients win. That speed to market and being nimble gives our clients an advantage over competitors whose media campaigns are being managed by holding companies.
To achieve our goals, it was important to us to build an amazing bench of talent. This includes our core in-house team, as well as our trusted partners. It’s important to be able to move quickly, collaborate strongly, and adapt at any moment. It’s a vital part of our business, and our team spends a considerable amount of time recruiting the top thought leaders in the industry to help us build a powerhouse team.
Our promise to our clients and to our team is that our agency will always put our client’s needs first. We will always collaborate, create, and find the best solution that works for you, not just a prescriptive service. You have our word.
