E-commerce, AI automation & growth
Rick has spent his career on the operational side of growth, building and scaling e-commerce businesses, rebuilding the systems behind them, and turning manual processes into automation that actually holds up.
He leads the technology, AI, and e-commerce side of ZeroZenOne, focused on giving businesses infrastructure they can grow on instead of workarounds they have to manage.
Brand strategy, storytelling & creative
Alex brings more than 20 years of experience across brand strategy, creative direction, product development, storytelling, and visual communication.
She helps brands connect consumer insight with creative execution, shaping everything from positioning and visual identity to messaging, content, product branding, and social storytelling.
Her approach blends commercial thinking with a strong design point of view to create brands and content that feel clear, relevant, and memorable.
Our story
We’re headquartered in sunny Southwest Florida and work with clients across the country. The vibe is laid back. The results are not.
ZeroZenOne was formed in 2020, but the team behind it has been building brands, digital experiences, products, and growth strategies for decades.
We came together to create the kind of agency we wanted to work with ourselves: experienced without the ego, strategic without the complexity, and creative without losing sight of results.
Today, we bring branding, design, technology, AI, e-commerce, content, and marketing together under one roof, giving businesses fewer moving parts and one team focused on moving them forward.
The name is the philosophy
Every great brand starts at zero. We love the starting line, because it means everything ahead is upside.
Growth shouldn’t feel chaotic. We simplify the moving parts, keep the process clear, and make working together feel surprisingly calm.
From zero to one is the hardest leap. We get you there, then we keep going, and beyond.
Our mission
We bring strategy, creativity, technology, and marketing together to build stronger brands, better customer experiences, and sustainable growth.
Our vision
Build an agency where strategy, creativity, technology, and marketing work together, giving ambitious brands one team to help them move from zero to one and beyond.
0Z1 automated many parts of our business and took a lot off our plates that saved many hours of busy work a week. We had no idea how much AI could help our business. Alex and Rick spent time learning everything about our business, where our time is spent, what really matters, and then worked their wizardry. Now I can spend almost all my time on dealing with what really matters: our clients.
