Tony Zosel, Managing Director
After several years of Sales & Account Service, Tony realized his dream of owning his own advertising agency in the Fall of 2001. His goal was to start an agency that could manage projects for every type of business (Fortune 500, Mid-Market, Small Businesses, and Non-Profits). His vision was to have a staff well versed in all areas of business to best understand every marketing and communication situation. Tony and his wife Debi - both proud graduates of the University of Minnesota - live in Bloomington with their 3 children: Jake, Olivia and Hadley.

Brendan Loughery, Senior Copywriter
Like many writers, Brendan is a walking trivia contest, equally comfortable explaining the benefits of corn gluten meal for lawn care, or the proper way to enjoy homemade Greek Ouzo (The former is it's inherent weed control properties, the later preferably by offering it to some other poor fool). A journalist by degree and an information sponge by design, Brendan has been writing headlines, copy of all shapes and sizes, radio and TV spots - even the occasional magazine article - for the past 10 years. While Brendan enjoys writing - travel and family are his true passions. Married ten years, the vacations are split between pre-children (4 trips to Europe with wife Amy) and post-children (6 trips to grandma's beach house in Florida with six-year-old Blake and two-year-old Brett). Brendan is sometimes asked to be "A little less Brendan" when meeting with clients for the first time. We hope you meet him on a "calm" day. Click here to read the alter-ego of Brendan Loughery...
Ann Schaetzel
Ann Schaetzel, Office Manager
Not too many people can claim mastery in horticulture, accounting, typesetting, proofreading, photography and on top of it all have a family life … fortunately for Multiply, Ann defines multi-tasking. Ann got her start as a bookkeeper, then moved on to photography and typesetting. She spent many years working as a freelance typesetter (that’s pre-desktop) for several Minneapolis printers and art studios including Donaldson's, Galley Type, Graphic World, and Mpls/St.Paul Magazine. Ann also worked for a small publisher for 14 years, where she honed skills as a proofreader—her husband complains that she can't read a menu or advertisement without finding a typo (lucky us). A self-professed response to a “mid-life crisis”, Ann tried her hand (pun intended) in horticulture. At Multiply, Ann is back to her calling: tending figures and data. The best part? No insects.
