No Boundaries Marketing Group Is Excited To Announce New Staff Members!
Zack Rome is a journalist by trade and sports statistician by night. He graduated from California State University, Northridge in 2019 with a degree in Journalism. Zack worked in the Athletics Department in his school from 2017-2019 where he was an Assistant Sports Information Director. There, he learned the basics of Public Relations as well as the art of working in sports. After Zach graduated, he took a job in Chattanooga, TN in January 2020 for a minor-league baseball team called the Lookouts as a Media Relations assistant. Unfortunately, COVID-19 had other plans and the season was canceled. Zack and his partner Ryan then moved to Surprise, AZ in February 2021 in search of greener pastures. Since then, he has gotten two part-time sports stats jobs: one for the Phoenix Suns and the other for Major League Baseball. While these jobs are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, Zack was missing a full-time gig that could utilize his skills in an office setting. He was hired by No Boundaries Marketing Group as Creative Coordinator on May 9th, 2022. “I strive for excellence and getting better every day at a company that I see is primed to take-off,” says Zack Rome. He prides himself on his creativity and writing skills. Communication with clients is at the top of his priority list. He aims to provide total transparency and become a voice that people would feel comfortable with at No Boundaries. -- Digital Journal
