About

ABOUT

Zack Sandor-Kerr

Zack is the person behind Story Panda, a consultancy that combines art, storytelling, and facilitation to spark new ways of thinking and collaboration. He has over a decade of agency experience in strategic communications, marketing, and PR, working with past clients such as RBC, Reebok, Deloitte, and Coca-Cola. He continues to consult, as the person the agencies call in when they're in pickle or need to nail the pitch. He is brought in as a creative resource that can find the insight that sparks the idea that inspires the campaign.

Zack stepped away from working to become the primary caregiver to a child who was diagnosed and continues to receive treatment for leukemia. This has been an experience that reinforced his belief in the power of creativity to connect people and inspire resilience. Today, he channels those insights into interactive art workshops and creative projects that encourage playful exploration and drive innovation within teams.

Beyond his consulting work, Zack creates art, including the Not A Colouring Book project, which is an invitation for people of all ages to rediscover their innate creativity. By blending professional expertise with hands-on art-making, Zack shows organizations how simple acts of creation can yield bold ideas, deeper connections, and meaningful storytelling.

Let's talk about how Zack can help you.

Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

I've been a creative director for quite some time now, and it's rare that I'm genuinely surprised by an idea. When I worked with Zack, he flipped the script on that. As a strategist, planner, and creative ideas guy, Zack will surprise you at every turn – in the best way possible. He'll bring ideas to the table that will simultaneously make you say "how the heck did he think of that?" and "I wish I'd thought of that!" He'll bring lots of them too.

He's not just an ideas guy, though. He's an ideas champion who is tenacious when it comes to getting great concepts sold and produced. Seriously: I've seen him stay on a killer idea for actual years in order to see it come alive in the marketplace – and drive big results.

Hire Zack for your marketing, creative or strategy team and it'll instantly be better: not just in the quality of the output, but in the quality of the atmosphere. Because the only thing about Zack that outweighs his big old brain is his big old smile. You'll leave any meeting, brainstorm or lunch with him in a better mood than you did coming in.

I can't wait to work with him again sometime.
