We specialize in marketing and sales support

Catalogs and
technical documents

Designing informative pieces that can capture the crucial details of your products and services is one of our areas of expertise. From catalogs to sales aids, instruction manuals to case studies — we build and update materials using style guides and templates for a seamless brand representation every time.

Print
Collateral

As your marketing communications partner, we’ll create cohesive materials to support your brand or current campaign. We advise our clients on what would work best and then create the tools: corporate capabilities brochures, sales aids, folders, etc. Zoltun strives to be a valued extension of your team.

Trade Show
Support

There’s nothing like the challenge of creating big, bold graphics to concisely tell a story; it calls for different creative thoughts than handheld art. Fortunately, we excel at both. We’ll design exhibit graphics according to the floor plan and create collateral and presentation tools to match.

Brand Identity
and Logos

Businesses must live and breathe their brand. Zoltun is here to keep your business alive and well by creating or refreshing the elements of your brand identity. We design impactful logos, color palettes, corporate identity guides, and business stationery, among other brand-building pieces.

Writing, editing,
and proofreading

Well-written and efficiently planned content is a crucial need for businesses across all industries. Be it websites, print materials, social media, or any type of internal and external communications, our team has you covered. We craft language, refine messaging, and ensure content accuracy for superior results.

Project
management

Every client is unique. So, we curate a custom team of Zoltun experts to help you meet your goals. In-house account executives guide you through our production, revision, and finalization processes — all while keeping your project on time and on budget. Our reputation for quick turnarounds and personal attention has been a hallmark of our firm for over 30 years.

Websites

We plan, design, and launch websites through the collaboration of an account executive, art director, and strategic web partner who’s suited to your unique needs.

508 Compliance

Have a document that needs to be 508 compliant? PDF accessibility remediation is no problem for our document specialists. We will guide you through “best practices” for document production, resulting in minimal post-production remediation, increased efficiency, and reduced costs.

Video/Animation

Storyboarding and design can be applied to commercials, greeting cards, social media, corporate communications, web, animated instruction manuals and more. Our artists work with the right-sized video production company to maintain a high quality product at reasonable prices.

"There are three responses to a piece of design — yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for."

Milton Glaser
Our Team

Our Team

Our people make a difference for our clients.

Design Team
Luci Gardner
Luci Gardner
Executive Creative Director

With a home affectionately referred to as Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Luci has always collected and been curiously attracted to the beauty and intrigue of misfits. Given the challenge of opposing design elements, she will find common ground, order and balance to quickly match the unmatchable into a powerful, thoughtfully developed design. Some of Luci’s best moments live on in the toy and game industry, where she continues to exercise her almost-trademarked Quirky Unconventional Eye (QUE) with big success. Just ask Oprah!

Theresa Poprocky
Theresa Poprocky
Director, Creative Services

Torn between creative writing and conceptual design, Theresa gets to nurture both passions at Zoltun. And for her, mentoring young creative talent is the cherry on top. Theresa loves climbing inside a client’s head to figure out what they’re trying to convey, and discerning how best to make that happen… both verbally and visually.

John Michalski
John Michalski
Senior Art Director

“Michalski,” as we endearingly refer to John, can morph from icon creator extraordinaire to technical template ace without batting an eye. And if you’re having a computer issue of any nature, he’s not content until he figures it out and gets you back up and running lickety-split. Michalski is the perfect blend of creative whiz and computer nerd.

Mark Markovic
Mark Markovic
Senior Art Director

The second you meet Mark, you know this guy has earned his stripes. He is a seasoned art director and designer with passion, self-motivation, and time-tested leadership skills. His hard work and dedication to his craft continuously result in successful integrated marketing and branding campaigns for national and local organizations.

Debbie Gregg
Debbie Gregg
Senior Graphic Designer

Usually “speed” and “precision” are not used in conjunction when describing a person’s skill set, but that’s exactly what you get with Debbie. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her background in typesetting and global translation is a real asset when projects cross our threshold that need to be updated and translated into one or multiple dialects.

Tayler Wentz
Tayler Wentz
Art Director

Tayler is a valuable and versatile member of the Zoltun team. She is a graduate of Robert Morris University with a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts. Tayler always brings a fresh, contemporary design perspective to projects, with a specialized concentration in graphic design for print, web, and social media.

through their marketing process at whatever
capacity they feel comfortable. We call this special offering… The Tommy Project.

Strategy, Writing, and Proofreading
Casey Clark
Casey Clark
Proofreader / Copy Editor

Whether she’s crafting compelling text, restructuring a sentence, or removing that unnecessary punctuation, Casey is quite the skilled wordsmith. It’s not unusual to see Casey hiding behind a tall stack of technical documents, plowing through them with a fine-toothed comb and her internal encyclopedia of trademarks, corporate guidelines, and technical industry standards.

Adele Del Greco
Adele Del Greco
Marketing Strategy
Content Specialist and Copywriter

Adept at designing effective communication, Adele can mold a client’s vision into a marketing strategy with impact. She knows the importance of unearthing a client’s primary goals and infusing the right combination of products, platforms, and content solutions to deliver optimal results. Adele thrives on helping them carve a new path — one paved with the refined messaging, crucial connections, and profitable engagement they seek.

President

His engineering degree from Penn State University may be gathering dust but his analytical skills, integrity, and genuine care for our employees and clients shine bright.

Christy Zoltun Donati
Christy Zoltun Donati
VP, General Counsel

Christy is a valuable and trusted member of the Zoltun family.

Recent testimonials

The team was absolutely phenomenal to work with. I am extremely impressed and thankful for their willingness and ability to tackle the requested updates to our project so quickly and thoroughly. It was not an easy request, but they did what it took to get our document to us at the drop of a hat — and for that, I am so grateful. We won’t make a habit of it, but it’s great to know this team is so capable.

Our Process

Our Process

It's quite simple. We live by our three-step process.

WE LISTEN

It all starts with a simple conversation. We are truly interested in hearing your vision firsthand. No one knows your business as well as you do, so the information you share is paramount. It helps us understand where you’ve been, where you are, and where you need to go. Then it’s our job to roll up our sleeves to get you there.

WE INTERPRET

Once we have learned all about you, we set the gears in motion and assemble a team whose sole mission is to service you and make you feel comfortable and confident in us. There’s a lot of brainstorming and sharing of ideas that happens next. The line of communication between you and Zoltun is always a fluid one. If it matters to you, it matters to us. We share our ideas with you to make sure our vision aligns with yours.

WE CREATE

This is when the magic happens. Your designer gets to work conceptualizing, typically providing a couple options for your consideration. Then the honing process begins. Our expertise combined with your insight meld into a dynamic design. There is no better fusion than a powerful design solution and a very happy client.
