Hello there! I'm Joseph Zakrzewski, a skilled storyteller with a passion for strategic communications, marketing, and digital media. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the aerospace, professional sports and entertainment industry, where I have crafted engaging stories, built relationships and leveraged communication and marketing strategies. My innovative and forward-thinking approach has consistently fostered strong connections between consumers, brands, and organizations.

​

Throughout my 15+ years in the industry, I've had the privilege of directing organizational communications, marketing and digital media efforts, working key aerospace and NASA initiatives, publications and broadcasts and directing and serving as on-air talent for over 1,100 professional sports broadcasts and studio productions, earning recognition in the National Hockey League, American Hockey League, ECHL, NCAA, and Northwoods League. I have created results-driven, media campaigns and systems that reached millions of viewers and generated millions of dollars in ad value, received numerous accolades, including guiding the Rockford media market to the 2022 James H. Ellery Memorial Award for outstanding media coverage and earning the 2017 AHL Community Relations Award of Excellence as well as being named the 2012-13 Broadcaster of the Year. 

 

As a Houston, Texas, native and graduate of Sam Houston State University, I'm deeply rooted in my community and family and passionate about bringing people together through the power of storytelling. Thank you for visiting and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
