Hi, I’m Zachary Marra, a Marketing and Communications Coordinator and graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University’s Bachelor of Media Production program. I’m passionate about high-quality content creation and marketing that connects people with brands and communities, and I bring a drive to produce quality work, a strong work ethic, and a genuine love for the craft. I have several years of experience with the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), CapCut, and Canva, plus hands-on video production, photography, design, and social media management. I’m comfortable on set with studio multi-camera setups, drone work, and on-the-fly content creation; I’m also certified in multicam studio production and Safe Sets, and I routinely manage content calendars, shoot and edit content, and turn around material quickly while collaborating across teams.
