Zak Showalter brings a strong mix of basketball credibility and authentic family-first storytelling. With a loyal Midwest audience, recognizable athlete background, and a lifestyle centered on husband-and-dad moments, outdoor weekends, and everyday life in Madison, he’s a natural fit for brands looking for real connection over polished ad reads.
The fan favorite at Wisconsin was part of a senior class that went to two Final Fours. Most recently went viral after hitting the go-ahead shot against Florida in the 2017 NCAA Tournament and pulling off a "Discount Double Check" in front of Aaron Rodgers. In college, he was known for his hustle and defensive intensity. No surprise that he was named to the Big Ten All Defensive Team in 2016 and 2017. In high school, Zak led Germantown to a perfect record and D1 State Championship.

How do you measure influencer marketing ROI when half the numbers social media gives you are vanity metrics? It is the question brands ask us most, and it came up again when I joined Massimo Marinelli on the Berkida Ventures Podcast.
