Time to Meet Zachary Walker

This month’s Member Spotlight shines on ​@zach.walker, VP of Social Media at The Motion Agency! Zachary’s journey in marketing is as dynamic as it is inspiring, and his passion for elevating others in the industry makes his story one you don’t want to miss.

Breaking Barriers in Advertising
As a POC and marketing leader, Zachary is proud to represent diversity and champion inclusivity within the advertising industry. He’s a trailblazer who uses his platform to create opportunities and highlight underrepresented voices.

From Kitchens to Campaigns
Before diving into marketing, Zachary had dreams of becoming a chef and even worked at one of the world’s best restaurants. (We bet his cooking skills are still top-tier!) That passion for creativity and precision now fuels his work in social media.

Highlight Moment: Navy Pier
Zachary’s recent work with Navy Pier is a standout moment in his career. As part of an integrated new business pitch, his agency landed Navy Pier as a client for all things social media and PR. For a Chicago native working at a Chicago-based agency, supporting such an iconic local landmark is a dream come true!

Social Media Inspiration
Zachary regularly checks out The Infatuation for fresh takes on food and beverage content. Their ability to keep things engaging and entertaining, even without being on-site, serves as great inspiration for his hospitality clients.

Life Outside of Work
When he’s not traveling or soaking in live music at Chicago’s many venues and festivals, Zachary dedicates time to helping small businesses make the most of their social media presence. He’s also been featured on several marketing-related podcasts, sharing his expertise with a wider audience.

Creativity Fuel
Zachary’s ideas come from everywhere – TikTok trends, TV and film, brands and influencers on social media, and even those big-name Super Bowl commercials. His ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist keeps his work fresh and relevant.

Let’s celebrate Zachary for his inspiring journey and the amazing work he’s doing at The Motion Agency.
