My name is Paula Zargaj-Reynolds.
Zargaj is pronounced just the way it looks. But only in Slovenia. In the U.S., it's pronounced Zhar'-guy. Say it with me . . . Zhar'-guy . . . Zhar'-guy . . . Zhar'guy . . . Now, wasn't that easy?
When I was a little kid in Slovenia, the Communists ruled the airwaves. As far as I was concerned, the commercials were the only part of TV worth watching.
When I was about six, my family moved to the States. And while American TV shows were a mind-blowing marvel compared to what I was used to, I was just as amazed by the commercials.
My obsession with advertising was just beginning.
Years later, I got a degree in Marketing Management and spent ten years working my way up to various senior creative positions at ad agencies such as Ingalls Quinn & Johnson/BBDO, Hill Holliday Connors Cosmopolus, and Digitas. Then I went out on my own as a freelance copywriter/consultant.
