Top creative director
Zak Mroueh, Taxi
VP, CD & partner
Signature greeting
Hey Pal. As in: Hey Pal that’s good. Yup… but…. can you go back and push it further, much further. Thanks Pal!
Interests
Far too much time watching the Food Network. Guitar playing is getting neglected as a result.
Weakness
Willing to discuss your weaknesses anytime of the day.
Accomplishments
Left Pickering. But still kept that nit-pickering trait.
Principal’s comments
Hard work, consistent high standards and just raw talent have made our Zak creative director
of the year for the second year
in a row. His family at Taxi
couldn’t be prouder.
