When you build a trusting relationship with someone, you let the walls come down. You're open about the challenges you face and the worries that keep you up at night. The person on the other side feels free to share their advice as you work toward your goals and is the first to buy you a beer when you finally reach them.
At Zeal Marketing & Consulting, we believe great marketing starts with authentic relationships. We're not here for a one-and-done project - we're in it for the long haul to ensure what you dream for your company turns into a reality.

We've never performed knee surgery or cross-examined a defendant in a courtroom. We definitely can't administer an epidural, and no one's hired us yet to install their new roof. But as any of our clients who are experts in these fields will tell you, what we may lack in certain skills, we make up in our ability to share their stories with the world.
From the moment the Zeal team meets yours, your passion project becomes ours. The same fire that drives you to succeed ignites in us, inspiring us to strategize, imagine and create solutions that propel your business to thrilling new heights. Zeal Marketing & Consulting president and chief strategist, Kate Allaria, has built a collective of St. Louis marketing experts who are as invested in their clients as they are talented in their fields.
I'm Kate Allaria, President of Zeal Marketing & Consulting. I launched Zeal in 2019 because after 16 years in marketing, I saw first-hand the disconnect between clients and the agencies hired to help them. I felt the frustration of small business owners when they came second to big-name clients or when they were sold solutions they couldn't afford (and worse, failed from the get-go).
Zeal Marketing & Consulting is capable of providing the gamut of marketing services from high level marketing consulting to detailed implementation. That means you'll get just what you need for your business model - the most cost-efficient and highest-impact strategies to fit your marketing budget, the whole nine yards from developing a brand consumers relate to and attracting them to the business in a variety of ways.
If you don't know the answers to all of these questions or haven't taken the time to think about it, you're what I would call "normal." Putting together an effective strategy includes five steps that I call the Pursuit of Success. The first step is to do a thorough analysis, review current and past marketing strategies, gain an understanding of the market, evaluate your customers' journeys, and assess your brand.

In 2020 Zeal Marketing & Consulting started working with my company in a collaborative relationship. Our services complement each other and Kate and her team are extremely responsive, professional, and provide quality work. I look forward to a continued working relationship, and highly recommend anyone partner with, or utilize Zeal for all of their marketing needs.

Zeal has been able to help us navigate through a difficult year to be able to communicate with our customers by offering us non traditional methods to reach them and creative ways to engage them. Kate’s responsiveness and her willingness to work with us was what we were looking for in a partner.

I have been working with Kate professionally for over five years on several projects related to non-profit marketing, but it was not until I hired her personally to oversee all the details of a political campaign that I knew her true worth. Kate and her team of professional writers, photographers, and graphic artists at Zeal created concept, visual, copy, web presence, digital / print media, and event planning for every stage of the campaign trail. Additionally, Kate personally devoted countless hours working to eliminate barriers to running constant advertising at political-unfriendly social media

I was really hesitant to take the leap towards getting help marketing my first time small business. Now that I am learning all of the ins and outs I wasn't paying enough attention to before, I wish I didn't wait so long! Working with Kate at Zeal Marketing and Consulting has truly helped me to organize and up my marketing game. I truly believe that we all have strengths, and knowing this area is NOT one of mine, it really made sense to put the right person in the right position. Everything about our process so far has been painless and actually FUN! I encourage anyone who is teetering on whether
