The Herd

So, are there 11 Zebras?

Maybe. If there are also 7 ups in 7up and if any one Dalmatian could have had 101 pups.


We're clever enough as marketers to avoid the pitfall of over intellectualizing every decision, and we pledge to bring the same zebra swagger to your challenge. The name comes from a very different story, but the spirit is exactly right. At any time our team may not be 11 actual zebras. We are a herd of wildly distinct minds who run together.

Why 11? It is a master number in numerology. Big vision, deep insight, trusting your gut.

Why Zebras? Because no two are alike, but together they move as one. Fast, bold, impossible to ignore. We are a dazzle of unique minds, each with our own stripes, coming together to help brands break through the noise and make real impact.

Principals

Julie Teplitzky

Partner | Business Strategy & Insights

Connects the program to the business it's supposed to serve. Owns strategy, commercial structure, and the insight layer, so what you learn this year changes what you build next year. Eighteen years across events, pharma, media, aerospace, and tech, and a track record of finding where the model actually breaks.

Chris Metzger

Chris Metzger

Partner | Market Strategy & Positioning

Finds the angle the market hasn't heard yet and builds the positioning around it. Owns market strategy, the competitive read, and the story the program tells, so the experience lands as a point of view, not a booth. Three decades across events, building healthcare and life-science practices from the inside and representing that work from industry stages.

The herd we bring

Producer

Production & Vendor Management

Owns the build day to day: fabrication, crating, trucking, install, labor, and storage vendors, from quote to load-out.

Creative Director

Experience & Content Design

Experience design, 2D and 3D design direction, and the content that carries the story into the room.

2D Designer

Graphic Systems

Gives every idea its stripes: the graphic system, signage, and the assets that travel after the event.

Program & Process

PM, Reporting & Insights

Keeps the calendar, the vendor tracker, and the post-event reads honest, and turns them into the next round’s plan.

Marketing Specialist

Campaigns & Channels

Turns insight into momentum across the channels around the program, before, during, and after.

Project Coordinator

Timelines & Logistics

Keeps every deadline, deliverable, and moving part synchronized.

It's a small herd. That's the point.

We lead the strategy, the story, the experience direction, and the partner alignment, and we bring the herd for the rest.
