Meet The Team
ZOE
Early in her career Zoe was a heavy hitter in the corporate world. Despite being small of stature she’d force giant businesses to be more efficient. Now she’s WebSavvy’s General Manager, bringing her big business know how and applying it perfectly with our small business approach. Just make sure she gets a break from meetings otherwise things can get silly fast!
TREVOR
Trevor has come a long way from growing up on a guest ranch in Canada. Who’d have thought leading horseback rides and watching out for bears would prepare someone for a career in marketing? Well that plus brief stints working in Japan, radio stations and Outback Australia. Now he heads up the Facebook department spending time working on customer acquisition strategies.
TRENT
From New York City to Edinburgh Scotland, Trent has landed at WebSavvy after a few exciting years living and working abroad. He brings with him years of experience and a long list of restaurant recommendations tried and tested throughout his travels.
ILKA
Ilka joined us after a long stint in London where she was marketing for one of the world’s biggest publishers. She was SO positive that the UK just could not handle that much sunshine..lucky for us she is bringing her literary acumen and ridiculous levels of positivity to WebSavvy.
ADEN
Aden loves exploring the potential of the mind-body-nature connection and once climbed the highest mountain in Czech/Poland with world record holder Wim ‘Iceman’ Hof (in-37 °C and only wearing a pair of shorts!)! Aden received the prestigious Brave Penguin Award at the 2019 Google Performance Honours Awards for his industry-best ability to problem solve for our clients.
CHARLENE
Charlene always wanted to be a doctor, but luckily for WebSavvy she chose computers instead. It’s no coincidence however that our client’s websites are always in a much healthier way after she’s looked after them. Charlene is our expert in automation and all things tech.
WOODY
Woody holds the ‘prestigious honour’ of being the 5th Bombers supporter at WebSavvy. Plus, that other accolade of (currently) being the only WebSavvian to have ever had a number 1 song in Germany. But that’s a story for another time. He’s driven by positive results for our clients, and deterred by negative drivers who don’t give a ‘thank you’ wave when you give way to them.
ALYSSA
Alyssa’s official name is Ky Ren Yap, kind of like Kylo Ren from Star Wars. Unlike Kylo Ren however, she’s very nice and drinks alot of tea. But she is a bit of a Jedi when it comes to all things Google Ads and marketing.
VIC
Vic is one of those people that loves a good staycation, happy to be surrounded by family and friends. When summer hits she’s always relaxed. Vic has been working with Google Ads for years and heads up the whole department, keeping the team happy. Unless they call her “Vicky”, then things get ugly.
SUCHI
Suchi planned to become a Microbiologist but Digital Marketing made her curious. She is an expert at optimising our clients’ accounts, and loves the fact that digital marketing is constantly evolving and keeps you on your toes! She also loves reading, yoga and travelling. She dreams to visit one new place every year and make the best memories.
CHRIS
Steven Spielberg once cast Chris as the lead role in The Pacific tv show. Well, technically just his hands were used as a double for the lead actor, but it still counts right? When he’s not busy conquering Hollywood or playing in his band, Chris will use Google Ads to help your business shine in the spotlight.
PHOEBE
Phoebe brings creativity galore to the team with a love of fashion and art, and holds the honor of being our first WebSavvian from Brisbane – but lucky for us she decided Melbourne was the home for her! Phoebe may have recently graduated university, but can’t shake the yearning for learning, so is currently back to the books studying Japanese too.
ERNESTO
Ernesto is a man of many talents. Not only is he our technical wiz and go-to WordPress wonder, but he’s a musician who plays multiple instruments, and has also become an accidental triathlete in his spare time! Is there nothing he can’t do?
MAX
Max may have grown up in the UK however his appreciation for good coffee has quickly qualified him as a Melbournian! Having once driven a London Underground train Max now dedicates his time to keeping his client’s accounts on track for success!
SAMANTHA
Sam loves snowboarding, hiking and pretty much anything to do with exploring the outdoors. Inside the office, she spends her time analysing consumer behaviour and tackling any challenge that comes her way because when you’ve come face to face with a bear (more than once) there’s not much left to be afraid of!
THEA
If Thea wasn’t in the digital marketing industry she’d be running a coffee shop and travelling the world exploring new things! Once a barista, Thea supports our team and clients and is the epitome of a creative thinker and coffee drinker (a long-standing WebSavvy motto!)
MIA
Mia is our go-to person for excellent recommendations on the 4 most important B’s in life – books, breweries, brunch, and binge-worthy TV shows. When she’s not building successful social campaigns for our clients, she’s busy building successful arguments on her friend’s podcast which is all about debating life’s important questions. Just don’t get her started on how dogs would wear pants, if they did…
BIA
You will find Bia spending her spare time by the beach or dreaming of her next travel destination. With a deep love for Disney it has been a goal of Bia’s to visit all the parks around the world – in fact, she only has one left to cross off her list! Bia loves that digital marketing is always changing and pushing us all to do better. Just don’t wake her up too early!
RAHIL
Rahil is always striving to be his best. If he’s not working on his future self at the gym or keeping up to date with the latest in Formula-One you’ll find him knee-deep in data and growth strategies! He’s also a huge Harry Potter fan. We love the way he works his magic at WebSavvy!
GEORGIA
Georgia came to WebSavvy by a series of fortunate events and is now our graphic design guru and true-crime podcast devotee. Georgia is at home in the snow and if she wasn’t in digital marketing she’d probably be a professional snowboarder.
FATIMA
Not only is Fatima an expert Google Ads strategist, she can also speak and read 5 different languages. No big deal. She’s our resident automation lead and the nicest person in the office.
RICKI
Ricki loves pigeons, yep, for real! So much so, she even has a pigeon tattoo. Friday mornings you will find her with a coffee in hand, listening to dance music ready to kick off the last day of the week with a bit of a bang. Later on you might find Ricki tending to her veggie garden and cooking up some delicious vegan treats!
CALVIN
If Steph Curry ever needs a place to stay when he visits Australia, Calvin will be more than happy to help him out. When he’s not buying NBA gear Calvin is helping WebSavvy clients grow their business. Or sleeping. There are few things Calvin appreciates more than his bed.
STACEY
Stacey is the second Brisbanite to join the WebSavvy team and call Melbourne home. She loves the ever changing landscape of digital marketing and finding creative ways to problem solve for our clients. When she’s not skiing down mountains or across the water (yes she can do both!) you’ll find Stacey gliding across the keys learning Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody on the piano or learning how to code!
CAMPBELL
Campbell is a huge admirer of Bob Geldof and anyone that can make the world a better place. Campbell is often found promoting & encouraging a greener lifestyle. In fact he pretty much loves anything green, like broccoli, but he despises things pretending to be green, like cauliflower – wrapped in green but a much different colour at its core.
SUREKHA
An expert in everything ‘Google Ads’. Surekha loves the continuous learning process that’s involved in keeping up with the everchanging digital world. If she wasn’t in digital marketing helping our partners, Surekha would be a bakester and dreams of recycling all kinds of waste to help create a greener, cleaner and healthier earth for future generations.
ELISE
Elise is one of WebSavvy’s creative souls – she loves fashion, dance and more recently architecture.
Her favourite time of year is NYE. The ultimate reset and shared experience all rolled into one celebration.. what’s not to love!? Don’t forget to ask her about that time that she danced with the floats and characters in the Disney parade!
NAZIA
Nazia is a trainer at heart and nearly took up a marketing professor role before we were lucky enough to have her join our Google team. She especially loves how digital marketing helps local and international businesses grow. And when she’s not using her ‘data driven and strategic’ expertise in helping grow our partners, Nazia indulges in her love for photography and historical architecture.
MIKE
Flying helicopters was the dream, but once realised, it was clear aviation wasn’t a career for someone that valued family time! So Mike stopped flying, emigrated from the UK & dove deep into business. He built & sold three businesses before mastering digital marketing & founding WebSavvy to help as many businesses as possible grow.
BAZ
Named after the firefighter who rescued him, Baz has been adopted by the WebSavvy team after he was burnt during the 2019/20 bushfires that devastated koala habitat. He now receives 24 hour, 5-star care and is slowly healing and regaining his strength with the help of the team at The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital
