Will Zschau Creative Director / Copywriter

A few extremely vital details

Will is an Emmy award-winning Creative Director/Copywriter with 15+ years of agency and in-house experience who feels compelled to speak about himself in the 3rd person on his bio. His greatest weaknesses are tacos, barbecue, craft beer, bourbon, and pour-over coffee, not always in that order.

He’s developed integrated advertising and marketing campaigns across diverse industries, managed creative teams, led comprehensive rebranding initiatives, crafted high-impact executive content and sometimes is on the fence about the Oxford comma.

The “extremely vital” details:

  • He taught Lee Corso how to shoot a bow and imaginary flaming arrow.

  • Door-to-door life insurance salesman could be on his resume but he chose not to list it.

  • He was a music major in college. Instead he wanted to earn money for a living – so he became a writer.

  • He once stayed at Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s cabin where Jack Kerouac wrote the book Big Sur.

  • One time he wrangled 48 large buffalo using an ATV.

  • He didn’t have to be Irish to get a tattoo of a leprechaun in a beer mug, but he did probably have to be drunk.

  • His hobbies include fishing, boating, hunting, camping, snowboarding, mountain and road biking, hiking, and traveling.

  • “Extremely vital” was a bit of an exaggeration.
