Meet the Museum Staff
Jonathan Zarov, Director of Marketing
As marketing director, Jonathan leads the team that produces all the advertising and publicity for the museum. The marketing team also manages the museum website, social media accounts, print pieces, and runs our front desk operations. He has a particular interest in writing and editing and loves to play with words. He cites the incredibly creative and upbeat staff at the museum—and the positive vibe of families on the floor playing, learning, and laughing—as key draws to the job.
When not working at the museum, Jonathan serves on the Downtown Madison Business Improvement District (BID) board, hosts the Friday Buzz radio show on WORT (8 to 9 a.m., 89.9 FM), and plays in Loving Cup (a Rolling Stones tribute band, featuring members of VO5). He is also the best plastic-bag playing percussionist in the world–and he says he can teach you to be the second-best very quickly, if you’d like to learn.
