Grant read a book once and realised that he preferred the pictures. This epiphany eventually led him to the exciting world of design: fast cars, beautiful women and endless cocktail parties. Ok, so in reality it really led him to Quirk, where there are very few fast cars and the cocktail parties aren't as civilised as they sound - but boy, is it fun!
After the mandatory post-Matric-Euro-trip, Grant settled in to hone his craft studying Multimedia Design at City Varsity. When he graduated he discovered an awesome company dying to hire him (that would be Quirk).
Grant started off his career at Quirk back when the agency was still pretty small and the QuirkStars could all fit round the boardroom table to eat lunch together. So, as you can imagine he knows the ins and outs of Quirk eMarketing like the back of his hand. After many years of excellent work and awesome dedication to his passion, Grant assumed the illustrious role of Head Designer. The natural progression has led to him being the lead singer in the all boy DesignStar band who don't really sing - but they do listen to their music at unacceptable volumes - must be a "creative" thing.
Super speedy, efficient and attentive, Grant is not an all work no fun type of guy. He plays as hard as he works and is the life and soul of a party. Friday drinks? Grant McLachlan IS Friday drinks. He also likes long walks in the rain and pina coladas (just in case you were wondering).

"Everything you ever wanted to know about eMarketing but were afraid to ask - really! This was a seriously good workshop for anyone from the sole trader with their own website to the eMarketing director of a large company. I am not that technical but Rob has that rare ability to explain technical (ie: difficult!) issues in very simple terms. I got an enormous amount from this highly interactive one day workshop." - Ian F, Kensington Enterprises
