Michelle Zauzig is an executive producer, writer and strategic brand partner based in Austin, TX. She has produced a diverse range of projects and led high impact strategic brand partnerships across commercial, documentary, experiential and digital formats.

As an executive producer and strategic partnerships leader, Michelle has spent her career connecting high-impact organizations with the storytelling they need to amplify their influence across the globe. Whether producing CGI product launches, branded documentaries or activations— story remains at the center of her work.

In 2025, Michelle launched Studio 113, a production entity founded to bridge the gap between the traditional Executive Producer role and the expanded demands placed on producers today. S113 is set to offer a hybrid model that combines creative oversight, strategic partnership development, and hands-on production leadership.

Prior to her venture, she was at Bakery Agency as Senior Producer, where she oversaw all major client productions and led the launch of Supernatural, an always-on content studio built for high-volume output, accelerated timelines, and limited-budget realities. While there she oversaw the brand launches and touch points of brands like Nike and Treehut, and helped Diageo launch two of their new-to-market incubator brands.

Michelle worked closely with Dell’s internal advertising agency, Dell Blue, as a producer, leading projects from concept to completion across CGI, live action, and docu-style customer stories. Previously, she served as Director of Partnerships at RYOT, the LA-based media company acquired in 2016 by HuffPost/AOL and recognized as a pioneer in immersive storytelling focused on global and social issues. As employee #10, she helped lay the foundation for RYOT’s branded content studio—producing and driving the relationships that would anchor much of the company’s sponsored and commercial work. Her projects have been featured at Cannes, Tribeca, and Sheffield, and celebrated by Refinery29, Elle, Mashable, Adweek, and others.
