Director

Zócalo Group is a full-service Word of Mouth and Social Media Marketing company, seamlessly integrating proven and leading edge capabilities in Word of Mouth, Social Media, Public Relations, Experiential Marketing, Social Media Optimization and Influencer Marketing.

Zócalo Group helps brands, companies and organizations create sustainable word of mouth: driving influential conversations and recommendations for brands and products. . Rather than creating "bolt-on" WOM tactics to traditional advertising, marketing, direct, PR or interactive marketing programs, Zócalo Group sets the right communications strategy, engages the right influencers and creates programs and experiences to encourage them to share brand stories with their networks and constituencies. Proprietary methodologies and ZócaloNet system provide the most holistic and measurable WOM and customer evangelism approach available today. We are a part of Omnicom Group, Inc.
