After matriculating from high school in 2004, Tim Withers was intrigued by the advertising industry and consumerism. His love of writing made him decide to a tackle copywriting course at AAA in 2005. Once that was done and dusted, he went on to do a short course on Magazine Journalism at CityVarsity.
Tim reckons he wasn't what you'd call a 'model student', but thinks he's grown up a little since then “...just a little”. He also describes himself as hungry, eager to learn and more than a little odd – prerequisites for an opportunity to work at Quirk.
Ideally, the SEM strategist would like to live in the Andes in Argentina, with only a good woman and a llama for company.
A sports nut, some of Tim’s most used bookmarks include Sherdog and Football365. He cares for his two dogs (Chance and Misty), two cats (Alley and Mojo) and crested gecko (Mia) a lot – but enjoys nothing more than hanging out with his friends or kicking a football around.
Tim has a knack for sensing trouble (a sort of real life spidey-sense), unfortunately, he's also attracted to danger like a moth to a flame - so it may be a bit of a disability.
“Only the gentle are ever really strong.”
