Brad began his career working as a public relations assistant at the University of Wisconsin, where he honed his skills and gained practical knowledge in communications and marketing. He spent two years at this job before deciding to enter the business world. He found work at Leo Burnett Group - global advertising agency - as a communications associate. Brad worked at the company for five years, then took on a new job as a senior field operations manager at a company called StubHub. He became a vital part of the company and was one of those who had a role in the company profitable enough to sell $310 million to eBay in 2007. Aside from his achievements in the business, Brad Zibung also founded his own business, a sports newspaper called The Heckler in 2003. He has been the editor of the newspaper since its inception. Readers in over 40 US states love the paper. Their headquarters, including that of media outlets such as FOX Chicago, ESPN Radio Chicago, Chicago Tribune and The Sporting News, have garnered accolades and praise from many outlets. So far, The Heckler is distributing about 30,000 copies per month. Being the smart and enterprising man that he is, Brad decided to expand his portfolio in a new direction by entering the real estate industry. He partnered with Craig Isacson to form @properties, which is now Chicago's leading real estate brokerage firm. Thanks to Brad's management skills, the company managed to generate $10 million in annual revenue in less than three years in the market.
