A Unique Approach to Business Consulting

What's so unscripted about Zak? 

​

Zak Shellhammer is a Marketing Performance Coach and Consultant who helps businesses accelerate growth with strategies rooted in authenticity. With more than 20 years of experience in marketing, operations, and business development, Zak guides entrepreneurs and organizations to unlock measurable results while staying true to their values and vision.

​

But what sets him apart is his focus on helping people overcome the real roadblocks that hold them back—fear of public speaking, networking anxiety, imposter syndrome, sales reluctance, or the overwhelm of showing up in person or online. By tackling these challenges head-on, Zak equips his clients with the confidence and strategies they need to show up authentically and succeed.

​

Zak’s professional journey began as a web developer before moving into real estate, where he built a successful career spanning residential and commercial sales, REO short sales, and property management. As a former Real Estate Broker, he developed a keen understanding of consumer behavior, negotiation, and market positioning—insights that now fuel his coaching and marketing expertise.

​

Through Shellhammer Consulting, Zak partners with businesses across industries to design performance-driven marketing systems that deliver impact. His work has generated exponential results, including triple-digit increases in engagement, lead generation, and client conversions. Clients value his ability to blend data, creativity, and strategy into tailored solutions that accelerate success—while also helping them build the confidence to overcome the human challenges of leadership, visibility, and growth.

​

Zak also extends his expertise to the nonprofit sector. He has elevated community organizations by expanding their digital reach, deepening donor relationships, and strengthening brand storytelling. Currently serving as Community Engagement Coordinator for Urban Roots Teaching Farm, he drives outreach, fundraising, and marketing initiatives that connect northern Nevada communities with food education and sustainability.

​

When not coaching or leading strategy sessions, Zak explores his creativity through surrealist art, writing, and travel. His unique blend of technical, creative, and operational experience positions him as a trusted partner for leaders who want to accelerate growth, disrupt old patterns, and move forward with confidence.
