Executive Team & Agency Owners
<< Craig Stults
Managing Director
Carl Holden >>
Creative Director
In 2012, Craig was running Gorilla Indoor Media, an indoor advertising agency. Carl was a student at UAH and looking for internships. After working a bit together at Gorilla, the two form Zellus Marketing to pursue marketing work Craig had previously referred to others.
Zellus works specifically with businesses in the Tennessee Valley on campaigns that reach both locally and nationally. Both Craig and Carl find it important to under-promise and over-deliver with simple contracts, results-driven campaigns, and a level of transparency and availability that is not matched locally.
Since 2016, Zellus has ranked highly in Google for marketing and SEO services. The Google ecosystem is an important part of the Zellus Marketing strategy.
The name Zellus is a respelling of zealous to be more symmetrical. Passion (zeal) for entreprenuership drives their business decisions. It was also a happy coincidence that Zelus is the little-known Greek god of competition. The logo is a simplification of the word and harkens back to the edgy skate logos of the 90s.
Folded arms means we are serious about marketing (and awkward in photos).
Craig
An avid soccer player and coach, Craig is a veteran business owner and well connected in the community. Basically all of his free time has something to do with soccer or hanging out with his son.
Carl
A nerd and designer, Carl is the “brains” of the marketing operation. He enjoys, as you would guess it, video games and pop culture. He loves spending time with his wife and two young boys.
