Jonathan Ratcliffe

Marketing Director, UK & Google Fan Boy

Jon’s career started at Stellenbosch University where, for his sins, he studied financial accounting. This taught Jon the nuts and bolts of business, but he’d always had his eye set on a marketing career. It’s no surprise then that after graduating, Jon went knocking on the door of Ogilvy Cape Town where he spent almost 5 years working on blue chip brands such as SAB Miller, Volkswagen, WPP and WWF (that’s the nature guys and not the sweaty wrestlers).   

While at Ogilvy, Jon also involved himself in the Advertising and Media Association of South Africa (AMASA) and spent three years on the committee before being elected as the AMASA Vice Chairman in Cape Town.  

Jon chose the online marketing space for the next step in his career because he has always been interested by how measurable it is. He feels that it’s a great combination of his marketing and accounting skills and he feels certain that the space will continue to grow - even in the tougher economic climate. 

An ideal day for the former Clifton lifeguard would include perfect long board waves at Muizenberg in 30 degree heat. Until his next holiday in the Mother City, Jon will have to settle for a couple of beers at his local overlooking the Thames or some other brackish body of water.  

His prized possession is his 6.7 litre 383 cubic inch 1964 Dodge Polara - but professionally, Jon couldn’t live without everything Google has to offer. 

• Do good.
• Great things happen when lots of things happen.
• If there’s a will there’s a way.
• Seize the day.
