Zoe Tennesen

Director of Creative Services

An award-winning creative type who still gets weak in the knees at the smell of a freshly printed sheet, Zoe brings more than a decade of marketing and design experience to her role at HCK2.

From art direction to complex print production, writing headlines to touching up Clint Eastwood’s face … she has done it all.

Zoe fell in love with creative marketing as a young girl when she was the first in her class to memorize the McDonald's Big Mac Rap. Her childhood dream now realized, Zoe is passionate about effective communication that gets super-sized results.

And if she’s not at her desk playing “Guess that PMS Shade” or poring over proofs, she can be found bobbing her head at a nearby drive-thru or mothering her overly spoiled boxer dogs – all part of the variety show she calls life.
