Meet Arielle
Arielle Zadok is a Leo who was born in NYC to an ex-Broadway performer and ex-model. There’s no other career path she could have possibly taken.
Entertainment and advertising are in her DNA.
Her first time on a stage was at four years old, which is probably why standing in front of a room has always felt more natural than sitting quietly in the back of one.
She grew up in the performing arts, later adding newscasting and on-camera work in high school and college. She learned how to produce by day, and she was honing her craft as a performer by night.
After graduation, her first job was at a talent agency, where she decided that trying to be both the agent and the talent would be a conflict of interest to her clients.
So she stayed behind the camera.
That detour turned into a 20+ year career in production spanning advertising, television, branded content, sports, entertainment, and live experiences. She has worked with brands and companies including Disney, ESPN, Nike Air Jordan, MLB, and Nickelodeon, usually somewhere in the middle of the creative idea, the logistical puzzle, and the moment someone says, “Okay, but how are we actually going to do this?”
That is, conveniently, her favorite part.
Arielle is a producer who likes big ideas, complicated puzzles, interesting people, and projects that require equal parts creativity, problem-solving and a human-centered approach. She can talk to executives, talent, crew, clients, creatives, and the person who has just informed everyone that the thing they desperately need is currently three states away.
But performing never really went away.
At 22, she produced, directed, and performed in The Vagina Monologues at the Tampa Improv, selling out two shows and raising more than $10,000 for local women’s shelters. While working at Colenso BBDO in New Zealand, a scratch voiceover she recorded for an ad was liked enough that the agency started booking her for the finished spots.
She later graduated from The Second City, created and hosted the Wham Bam Improv Jam, and became a regular cast member of the Rockin’ Awesome Improv Show. Since 2018, she has produced and hosted podcasts, interviewed musicians for live festival programming, appeared on and moderated panels, and continued working across hosting, voiceover, improv, acting, singing, and live performance.
Then there’s the sex part.
Because apparently producing and performing weren’t enough lanes.
Arielle is also a Certified Intimacy Coordinator, Board-Certified Sexologist, and Certified Sex Educator. That work has taken her into conversations about sex, relationships, power, pleasure, bodies, and human behavior, which turns out to be excellent training for asking better questions, reading a room, and being very difficult to shock.
It is a specialization, not the whole story. But it is a very Arielle part of the story.
Today, she is bringing the two threads that have followed her for most of her life together: producing and presenting.
Behind the scenes, she knows how to make the thing happen.
In front of an audience, she knows how to make it interesting.
Ideally, there’s a good story, a smart group of people, something slightly unexpected, and maybe a plane ticket involved.

I hate to be the one to break it to you… but birds & bees?
They don’t fck!
Created, produced, and hosted by Arielle Zadok, Birds & Bees Don’t Fck is an interview-driven show about sex, relationships, and the wildly inconsistent education most of us received about both. Equal parts curiosity, humor, and candid conversation, it’s also a showcase of Arielle’s work as both producer and host.
