Creative Director

Sonja is the passionate “grassroots-style” director and CEO of zö agency. With over 25 years in the field of marketing and public relations, she has become deeply involved with hundreds of client’s dreams, visions and bottom lines.

Because of Sonja’s hands-on approach, she and zö are one and the same. And the proof is in every exceptional product and service that zö agency provides. She is committed to substance, integrity, and developing growth with every client. Under her direction, zö agency works harder and smarter, dreams bigger, promotes creativity without restraint and constantly seeks to contribute more than we take from the community. This is why zö agency has blossomed into one of the premiere agencies that represents nonprofit groups.

Sonja believes strongly that everything we choose to do matters, and that creating deep, resonating relationships with clients and community members is paramount to her success. This idea is also summed up within the company slogan: Connecting Matters.
