About

I’m Bill Zahn, a Digital Marketing Professor at the University of Houston and the founder of 713 Marketers. I’ve spent the past decade helping businesses cut through marketing noise, bad advice, and underperforming agencies.
Most small businesses don’t fail because they’re not trying; they fail because they’re being misled, oversold, or ignored by the companies paid to help them grow.
I built 713 Marketers for owners who want clarity, not confusion.
My approach is simple: no fluff, no inflated promises, and no outsourced mystery work. Just an honest strategy, local digital marketing expertise, and transparent results.
If you’ve been burned by an agency before, or you’re skeptical of anything labeled “marketing,” you’re in the right place.
Good marketing shouldn't be complicated. Let's work together to simplify your plan and get results.

"Working with Bill was a breath of fresh air. He made our job easier, not harder. From day one, he brought clarity to the strategy, helped align client expectations, and translated business goals into actional marketing directions we could execute.
Bill didn't second-guess our work or micromanage us; he acted as a true partner. He asked smart questions, gave time feedback, and helped the client understand why certain decisions mattered. He significantly reduced friction and improved trust on all sides."
The result was better collaboration, faster decision-making, and stronger outcomes for the client. Any company working with an agency would benefit from having Bill involved. He elevates the work, the relationship, and the results.
