Zac Martin

Zac Martin is an 19 year old university student, currently in his third year of a Marketing degree. He is a freelance writer and social media marketing consultant but hates the word “expert”. Depending on whose authority you’re going on, he’s either a Gen Y or an iGen but often acts like a five year old.

Zac loves to blog, tweet and have conspiracies about the Loch Ness Monster emailed to him. He loves long walks on the beach, getting caught in rain and when he grows up he wants to be an evil marketer. At one point he considered attempting to stop talking in third person. He was unsuccessful in this endeavour.
When not donating to charities, helping old people across the road or saving kittens from burning trees, Zac writes about gen y, social media marketing and the internet.
