JANNA O'SHEA ZAGARI

Brand Strategy & Positioning
Digital Communications
Editorial & Content Strategy

I’m a strategic communications and marketing leader with 16+ years of experience building audiences, shaping brand voice, and helping organizations tell stories that connect with people.

My career has been rooted in social and digital media, but my work has always extended beyond individual channels. I’ve built and led teams from the ground up, developed editorial and brand strategies, worked with senior leaders on thought leadership and executive visibility, and partnered across organizations to bring campaigns and ideas to life.

Most recently, I was the Vice President of Social & Paid Media at HMH, where I led strategy across three brands and partnered across the organization on audience development, thought leadership, brand initiatives, and communications. Prior to HMH, I led audience engagement at SiriusXM and held leadership roles at Tumblr, The Walt Disney Company, and Marvel Entertainment.

I’m a collaborative leader who cares about building strong teams, creating clarity, and helping people do their best work.

I spend my free time reading, experimenting with gluten-free & dairy-free baking, and will forever choose the original Star Wars trilogy.
