The SynergizeIT Team

Chris Corbet - CEO
Ever since Chris was a young lad, he had dreams of running an internet marketing company. "No one else knew about internet marketing in the 80's. In fact, no one else had even heard of the internet at that stage. But I did," he says with a glint in his eye. Chris founded the company in 1998, and has successfully molded a team of exciting individuals, known and feared throughout the land as "The SynergizeIT Team".

Shaune Jordaan - SEO Account Manager
Shaune stumbled into our offices one day, after tripping on some debris which had been left outside. We decided to hire him as he seemed harmless enough, and he makes a mean cup of tea. His legendary abilities as an SEO account manager ensure that our portfolio of clients remain at the top of the search engine pile. "I've been wanting to work here since I was 12", he says excitedly. "I'm just living the dream, man."

Meagan Wessels - Office Administrator
Meagan is the "go to" person in the office, ensuring that everything runs smoothly, like a well-oiled machine. Or at least a machine that runs properly, it doesn't really have to be well-oiled to do that, it's just a metaphor we enjoy using. A keen sportswoman and coach, Meagan brings discipline and organisation to the office, and regularly prods us with her cricket bat if we step out of line.

Damian Du Preez - Developer
Damian joined the company full time after a long period of freelancing for us, whilst juggling his second career as a heavy metal rock star. "The rock star lifestyle left me feeling uninspired and jaded," he says reflectively whilst sipping on his camomile tea. "Developing web applications is what really get's my heart racing these days". A formidable programmer, Damian once developed an intricate online booking system using nothing more than a few paper clips, some rubber bands and a dirty rag.

Blandine Mwamba - Developer
"If only we had a French-speaking web developer originally from the DRC," we mused one Tueday morning, several years ago. The words had literally just come out our mouths, when Blandine made her grand entrance through our doors. Besides English and French languages, Blandine is also incredibly fluent in both php as well as asp, although her Spanish is a bit rusty.

Johan Pretorius - Web / Graphic Designer
Johan is the creative guru in the office, with the unique ability to conceptualise and create websites in his sleep, which he did in August 2006, and again in January 2008, as part of a dare. Besides design, some of Johan's other passions include Anime, fantasy novels as well as the colour Orange. "Not Mandarin or Apricot though, it has to be pure Orange," he emphasises thoughtfully.

Linda Vika - Link Negotiator
A former Miss Teen South Africa, Linda is also a Taurean, with the incredible ability to control people's minds. This gift of persuasion comes in handy during her daily task of establishing reciprocal links from various sources, which ensures a steady increase in web exposure for our diverse clientelle. This ability also proves invaluable during salary negotiation time.

Jo-Ann Bent - Link Negotiator
Jo is a link strategist who once made it to the second round of Idols. (The year that Karin Kortje won) In addition to that particular accolade, she is also well known for her abilities as an online marketing strategist, ensuring that her portfolio of clients are well looked after in the internet sphere. Jo-Anne's other great loves include socialising, dancing and her baby daughter. She is also fond of David Beckham, and actually bumped into him once, sending him flying into a nearby table.

Marten Lazarus - Link Negotiator / SEO Strategist
Marten gave up an exciting career as a professional wrestler, to take up an even more exciting career as an SEO strategist. "Professional wrestling had it's high moments for me," he says with some nostalgia, "but nothing beats the excitement and adrenaline rush of working as an internet marketer". Marten is also an avid poker player, and even had a small role in the movie, Oceans Eleven. "I was the guy standing behind Brad Pitt at the poker table," he says modestly.

Patrick Knight - SEO Strategist
A child television star during the 80's, Patrick is still fondly remembered for his role as that kid from the Redro Fish Paste adverts. These days, Patrick is arguably even more famous as an internet marketer, who has steadily built a reputation as someone who "get's the job done", no matter what obstacles may lie in his way. Like John Rambo, "I am like Rambo," says Patrick with steely determination in his voice.
