Ali B. Zagat

A seasoned writer and content strategist, Ali got her start in the publishing industry as an editor at Thomson Reuters. She started writing digital and social media content for independent designers and discovered a talent for connecting boutique brands with their target audiences. This led to work with etailers, such as cult favorite perfume house Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and spearheading sales and product copy for high-end and niche designer goods at the fast-paced startup Fab.com. She helped develop Fab’s blog strategy to speak to the multifaceted interests of a design lover, and created some of the site’s highest-ever trafficked pieces.

Ali added some strategic and analytic tools to her professional kit as a member of the managing editorial team at Amazon, where she helped teams on both coasts drive a number of key initiatives to optimize communication and set plans for achieving their long-term goals. Currently a senior copywriter for branding agency 160over90, Ali helped Jeremy prepare his first book, Going Social, for publication. With the philosophy that every brand can and should create opportunities to reach out to prospective fans and have meaningful conversations with its existing user base, Ali creates digital and social content and content strategies for partners including Creed, Dwell, Rodale’s, Birchbox, Free People, and ALOHA. She lives in Philadelphia with her adorable husband and newborn daughter.
