Portrait of Zack Chmeis

Called in when the problem has no name yet.

Zack Chmeis is a business and technology strategist whose work spans strategy, systems, product, design and digital innovation.

His strength lies in seeing how the different parts of a business connect, identifying where value is being lost, and shaping stronger ways for companies to operate, build and grow. That can mean rethinking a strategy, redesigning a product, improving internal systems, introducing automation, or creating entirely new technology when the right solution does not yet exist.

Having worked hands-on across multiple disciplines, he approaches businesses from both a strategic and practical perspective, with an understanding of what should change and what it takes to make that change real.

He has worked with more than 25 companies across more than 14 countries, with his frameworks and strategies applied across those businesses to strengthen ideas, systems, products and the way they operate.

A guide to selling strategy.

Most strategy is lost before it is presented, in the moment a client quietly files it under cost. Pre-Align is the method I wrote to win that moment: a structured way for agencies and strategists to align a client on what strategy is worth before a single proposal is opened.

Signed in new client work in under sixty days, after an agency rebuilt its pitch around Pre-Align.

Their clients include Red Bull, Warner Bros., UC Berkeley

I work with creators and influencers.

You have earned an audience that trusts you. I work with a small number of creators to turn that trust into a digital product of your own: designed, built, launched and run with you.

Where your product is built, launched and managed

01

Strategy

The idea, the offer and the price, shaped around what your audience already asks you for.

02

Design and build

The whole product designed, written and built for you, start to finish.

03

Launch

Your store on Whop, a sales page and the launch posts, ready to publish.

04

After launch

I run it on Whop with you, so you never have to touch the tech.

Apply as a creator

Every collaboration starts with an application. My team replies to every one within two weeks.

Who this is for

  • 10K to 100K+ followers on Instagram
  • 50K to 200K+ views on a typical Reel
  • None yet no digital product of your own
