Tim Shier
Marketing Manager and head pirate
Tim has a varied and colourful past that seems to have always tended towards his natural ability to lead. Having spent most of his childhood in East London, his arrival in Cape Town was the start of Tim's jack-of-all-trades lifestyle, during which he dabbled in helping underprivileged kids, recycling, computers and catering.
After realising that he might not be cut out for the life of an Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Tim started getting into magic (stage magic) and counts ol' Copperfield as strong supporter. But still, Tim had his sights set on not clowning around for the rest of his life. This is most obvious in the fact that whilst most small-timers attempt to nab the odd traffic cone or public bin as a public service memento of their nights out, Tim's collection boasts the jacket of an unsuspecting constable.
Tim has combined the skills he learned whilst on UCT's RAG committee - marketing, IT and eventing - and has unleashed them onto Quirk. Not only is he a real go-getter, but a Facebook addict too, which means he'll fit right in as a QuirkStar.
"Everything will be alright in the end, if it's not alright - it's not the end."

What Our Clients Say
"eMarketing is a complex business. If you can get it right the return on investment can beat any other form of direct marketing by a long long way. It is essential that you at least know the basics. The seminar that I attended hosted by Quirk provided those basics and a lot more. Armed with the knowledge that our company has now - I believe we will be well ahead of the competition within the next few months." – Nazz A, Hypercubic Solutions
