Besides finding blissful enjoyment through serious amounts of late nights and hard work, our very own Rob Stokes has also found a way to use his hilarious and gregarious nature to power the turbines of the QuirkStation. Initially, it began in Rob's bedroom, with only the voices inside his head to keep him company. But the growth of Rob's ideas was inevitable, and they crept out of his bedroom into his lounge, and then all the way to a warehouse in Cape Town, as well as offices in London and Johannesburg.
While studying a Business Science Degree at UCT in the 90's, Rob's love for both technology and marketing merged in his Marketing Honours Thesis in email marketing. His vision for taking online marketing to the world was the beginning of Quirk's creation.
Energetic, inspired and dedicated to motivating people and empowering them (especially whilst wearing el famous tight white cricket shorts), Rob manages to bring these qualities to both clients and staff. He has filled the QuirkStation with Stars, who have created a formidable eMarketing machine with an international client base.
Rob is not only passionate about the world of eMarketing, but also about making it an accessible tool to others. This eMarketing specialist has been lecturing on Internet Marketing at UCT, Red & Yellow School of Advertising and Cape Technikon for the past 5 years. With boundless energy and enthusiasm, he also manages to deliver various workshops and presentations across Cape Town, Johannesburg and London.
"For the record, I am not a nut. I am an optimist. That's exactly like a nut except with a better attitude."
