Timo van Deventer
SEO Team Leader

What led you to Smile Marketing?

Having worked in SEO for 15 years, I sought a new challenge to grow further in the field. Smile Marketing stood out as the perfect fit, and I am very happy that I found my new home.

What do you love most about your job?

I love traveling, virtually, around the world through location research for our clients. Even though it is virtual, there is still so much that can be explored and learned … I love my team, and, of course, I love beating the competition!

What do you like to do in your spare time?

My kids take up most of my spare time, but when possible, I love taking long road trips across our beautiful country, it is vast, and we have every type of climate and landscape imaginable.

What might people be surprised to find out about you?

I am a qualified derivatives trader with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and am licensed for 22 financial products under the FCSA, South Africa's financial regulator.
