Brooke Saharovici

Public Relations Account Executive

This Memphis native knows a thing or two about the human experience. In the past 12 months alone, she’s visited seven countries stretching across two continents, lived on a Native American reservation and spent her winter break in Detroit tutoring middle schoolers. A self-proclaimed foodie, Brooke believes the best part of travel is searching out that Bourdain recommended place that only the locals know. Every place she visits has helped her pinpoint her own place in the world and the work she wants to create.

A Type-A to the bone, Brooke is a notoriously resourceful problem solver and multitasker. This past summer she interned for Hershey Entertainment and Resorts. In this role she worked on media relations, CSR audits and content creation for the company’s web and social platforms. Additionally, Brooke currently serves as the American Advertising Federation president, where she plans and leads biweekly club meetings and visits to agencies. She also claims Memphis barbecue to be superior to all others, but we’ll let you decide on that one.

Rachel Radecki

Account Executive

Rachel does a lot of things. Sleep is not one of them. She currently holds four jobs (yes, four) because she thrives on keeping busy. Besides leading Maven 11, she’s a brand management intern for Scout & Nimble Interior Design, directs social media for Chicago International Model United Nations and is lending a hand to the professors as a TA. She also runs a side business with her best friend, designing and selling Snapchat filters for birthdays, weddings and sorority events. A few other companies that have been blessed with her killer work ethic include the Blue Note, Rose Music Hall and Geometry Global in NYC. But we’ll have to stop here. If we listed everything she’s accomplished, we’ll end up writing a novel.

In her spare time (we’re not quite sure where she finds it), she loves to explore art and dabble with graphic design and calligraphy. Her favorite artists include Mondrian, Pollock, Rothko and Judy Chicago. It’s no surprise Rachel also has a serious coffee addiction. She could single-handedly keep the Columbia Dunkin’ Donuts in business. After graduation, Rachel plans to follow the bright lights to the Big Apple and land a job in account management. And we have no doubt she’ll do just that. Rachel is living proof that women will someday run the world.

Cameron Rolf

Graphic Designer

Cameron used to be able to solve a Rubix cube. After he forgot how, he moved on to design. His earliest work in graphic design started at a young age and usually involved him crafting extravagant pictures on Microsoft Paint. Cameron has worked at the global advertising agency VML as a design intern and in the Student Design Center, creating posters, flyers, logos and social media graphics for campus organizations. When he’s not designing, Cameron’s on the leadership team for MizzouThon and is a member of the Alumni Association Student Board. Cameron’s graphic design heroes are masterminds like Aaron Draplin, Tad Carpenter and Dan Cassaro. He admits he would fanboy hard if he met any of them. Outside of work, Cameron hopes to visit every National Park in the United States. This might take Cameron a while because he never misses any days of school or work … ever. He’s so present that it’s said his teachers begged him to leave. Alas, he had perfect attendance all through high school. Maybe that’s why he’s so good at designing. You’ve got to pass the time in school somehow.

Zak Sandeman

Account Planner

It may not mean nothing to y’all, but Zak Sandeman is one of the biggest Drake fans you’ll ever meet. If you ever have a minute, he’d be happy to sit down with you and walk you through some of the rapper’s deeper tracks. But unless you really have the time, don’t get Zak started on the LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan debate. It might be a hot take, but Zak will happily go to his grave arguing that LeBron James is the most talented athlete to ever play the game of basketball.

When Zak isn’t deep-diving into Aubrey Graham’s discography or discussing the merits of the greatest basketball player to ever wear the number 23, he’s working as a marketing coordinator for LaSalle St. Securities, a Broker Dealer based in Chicago. This past summer, Zak interned with FTI Consulting’s Strategic Communications team in Houston. His team handled media relations and public affairs for oil and gas companies, and it was while working on this team that he discovered his passion for the energy sector. The oil industry is complex and controversial, but Zak believes he can help the public to better understand it.

From Mokena, Illinois, Zak joins MOJO as an account planner. He loves the role because it requires him to think like a consumer and be observant at all times. Zak has always been a hard worker, and he’s ready to give this year his all. But just know that if you’re trying to get ahold of him on an NFL Sunday, he’ll always have one eye on you and the other on his fantasy lineup.

Mark Swanson

Creative Director (Copy)

With his limbs flailing violently, head rocking rhythmically and favorite song playing loudly, Professor Mark Swanson is doing the Electric Boogaloo. Perhaps he realizes doing this dance – especially while wearing Star Wars storm trooper armor – is not exactly customary for a man with such a coveted title and impressive résumé. Then again, being different has always been one of his biggest strengths. Swanson has wisely used his gift of seemingly infinite creativity during his 17 years in the advertising business. He was a copywriter for advertising giants Foote, Cone & Belding (Impact) and Barry Blau & Partners (Direct Edge). He won numerous Gold ADDY awards and was the 2005 Silver Microphone National Winner for excellence in radio advertising. In his spare time, Swanson can be found playing soccer, but he admits that he has an unexplainable fondness for German board games. His career highlights include talking with singer James Brown, hosting online chats with astronaut John Glenn and Koko the gorilla, writing ads for sports legends Gordie Howe and Patrick Ewing, and creating transit signs featuring Battlestar Galactica starlet Tricia Helfer. His long list of accomplishments truly is intimidating. At least until you see him dance.
