Let’s Connect
JZ Zaeske
Founder + CEO, Kindelen Media

JZ founded Kindelen Media to close the gap between enterprise-level strategy and the brands that actually need it most.

They bring over a decade of experience across entertainment, digital media, and sustainability marketing. Before Kindelen Media, JZ led campaigns at Paramount Theatre and LRS, delivering measurable results across paid social, content strategy, social media, and community engagement. Their work has earned board-level recognition and driven impact that outlasted every campaign cycle.

JZ holds a Master of Arts in Public Relations and Advertising from DePaul University, earned with Distinction, and a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre with a Psychology minor from The Catholic University of America, graduated Cum Laude. Understanding how stories land and why people make decisions has always been the foundation of how they approach marketing.

At Kindelen Media, they channel all of it into work that gets built to perform, not just to look good.

The Approach

How We Work, Every Time

Every Kindelen Media engagement gets built on the same foundation. Strategy first, data always, systems that scale.

01
Strategy Before Execution

We build the plan before we pick the channel. Every engagement starts with clarity on who we are talking to, what we are saying, and why it matters. The tactics follow the thinking, not the other way around.

02
Data That Moves Work Forward

Performance data is not just for end-of-month reports. We use it to make creative decisions, optimize in real time, and surface the insights that actually shift the work. You will always know what is working and why.

03
Systems That Grow With You

Great marketing should be repeatable, not fragile. We build frameworks and content programs designed to scale with your brand and your team, so nothing lives only in our heads.
