About

I’m a Director and Executive Producer, but that title feels a little limiting so I’ve updated it to: Storyverse Architect. If there’s a tale to be told for a global brand or film studio, I’m probably thinking of how to tell it through video, photo, Web3, out-of-home, Snap/IG/FB/TikTok, experiential activations... and whatever’s coming out the day after tomorrow. Lets make something amazing together! www.Jonnyzeller.com Current and previous clients include: AB InBev, Verizon Media Group,P&G, Google, Microsoft, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, McDonald's, Acura, Panasonic, Mentos, BMW, Dodge, Viceroy Hotel Group, Red Bull, Mophie, Adidas, Ortho, Nitto Tire Agencies I've had the pleasure of working with: Mcgarry Bowen, McCann, BBDO, Saatchi & Saatchi, TBWA\​CHIAT\​DAY, Davis Elen, SapientRazorfish, RAPP, Blue C, Insignia Worldwide, WMG
