About us

Zulu Alpha Kilo stands out as a maverick global indie agency within the fiercely competitive advertising industry dominated by global holding companies.

Launched in 2008 by renowned Chief Creative Officer & founder Zak Mroueh, the shop has built a reputation as an industry outlier and is one of the most respected independent agencies in the world. Zulu has consistently produced ground-breaking ideas for its clients while challenging industry conventions, including pitches, award shows, and the focus on growth and profit over creative output.

Zulu’s founding belief is that it’s not in the digital, design or advertising business. It’s in the bravery business. Creative bravery is what drives decision making. Its sole purpose as a company is their belief that the ‘world needs more creativity’. Zulu supports causes they believe in and uses its creativity for the greater good as a company. They also believe that when clients truly embrace creativity, it can transform their world and their business. The indie shop’s ambition is to do the most ground-breaking work in the world and become the world’s number one creative company.
