Hi, I'm Zack Stahr.
I graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in December 2019, where I studied Business Administration, Marketing, Media, Communications, and Graphic Design. My time in college taught me great skills and gave me the experience I needed to be successful in the workplace.
During my time at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, my main hobby has become working at the UMSL radio station: The U. I started eager to learn and gain responsibility, so station management promoted me to Production and Promotion director. In this position, I oversaw radio advertisement production and coordinated with a team to produce the clips. At the beginning of the next year, I was promoted yet again to Station Manager, where I oversaw the day-to-day operations of the radio station, as well as worked on scheduling, programming, production, promotion, event planning, and more. This position taught me communication, leadership, and technical skills that I confidently carry today.
After graduation, I began working as the Communications Specialist at Element Church in Wentzville, Missouri. In this position, I served a church of 4,000 people as the primary communicator away from weekend services through promoting activities and the church brand on social media, writing blogs and stories, scriptwriting for announcements, and creating content for internal and external marketing purposes. I also developed strategies for blogs and newsletters, created and implemented a plan for social media content, and assisted in planning out the general internal marketing strategy for the year. Unfortunately, my time was cut short due to COVID-19 layoffs.
Post-pandemic I took over as Lindenwood University’s box office manager. In this role, I managed a team selling tickets to the theater, as well as football and basketball games, campus events, and commencement. I collaborated with hundreds of people to serve tens of thousands of customers. I have also created promotional packages for the theater, developed a VIP Subscriber program, and worked with the marketing manager to increase our sales to unprecedented levels, selling out several events, even in a COVID-19-impacted year.
I moved on to Live Nation Entertainment managing regional marketing in the St. Louis office, which served all of Missouri. There I developed end-to-end media and marketing plans for every show and worked with agents, bookers, and media to sell tickets. Working with media became one of my favorite aspects of this job and I enjoyed building relationships with personalities and representatives in radio and beyond.
