Tina Zulu’s Summary
As chief of Zulu Creative, a marketing and brand development agency in Midtown Houston, I develop and lead our clients’ brands through the battle for market share. Whether designing a Web site, creating ambiance for an event or generating a buzz, Zulu Creative is known for making a memorable impact.
My creative and technical abilities previously landed me a corporate position with Continental Airlines, where I provided strategic leadership in marketing communications, online advertising, email marketing, promotion, product development, site analytics and market research.
Having had experience on another runway, my fashion background includes producing and promoting fashion shows and major lifestyle and entertainment events, fashion styling, as well as owning and managing a retail clothing boutique. As a result, local, national and international brands trust me with their image and success.
With my home and business in Midtown, I feel it is my responsibility to play an active role in the area’s revitalization and prosperity and do this by working with local businesses to help them flourish. With my husband, Josh, I am committed to “giving back” and donate my time, treasure and talent to many organizations including GenART, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Workshop Houston, the American Kennel and Boarding Association, Child Advocates, TOMS Shoes, Spacetaker (Board of Directors) and The African Rondavel Collective (Board of Directors).
I graduated with honors from the University of Houston, and hold B.A. degrees in marketing and entrepreneurship.
