Gnu World is a Cape Town Internet marketing company that was established in 2000 to provide local and international companies with better business websites. Ever since we have been accumulating knowledge and experience, just so that we will be here to provide you with the very best Internet marketing and web design services!
We offer a holistic, all-in-one solution by providing the full range of Internet marketing services under one roof. We also aim to provide excellent customer service, which means that we follow a personal and friendly approach, speaking to you honestly and in plain English.
But why did we choose the name Gnu World?
One reason is that the gnu (pronounced g-nu or new) is an animal with a truly South African character – just like our company. The word “gnu” has its origins amongst the San bushmen of Southern Africa. Then again, when pronounced “new”, the name refers to the hope that technology will transform and improve our world.
Who are we?
Andrew Ziffo
Andrew is the man behind our straightforward and personal approach. An entrepreneur who has been involved in successful businesses for 20 years, he is passionate about Internet marketing and loves helping other businesses to succeed. He also loves mountains, French toast and funk music.
Melissa
Social Media Marketing Specialist and SEO Project Manager
One of the few people who is encouraged to spend all day on Facebook, Melissa is a small Gnu with a big heart. Her University of Cape Town degree, online obsession, vast network of contacts and superb content writing make her ideally suited to helping businesses to succeed on the social web.
Jonas
SEO Project Manager and Link Building Expert
Born in Germany, Jonas has retained a typically Germanic dedication and thoroughness which are brilliant traits when building quality links and managing SEO projects for our clients. His academic background in media also helps. When he is not fishing for links, Jonas enjoys fly-fishing (for fish).
Leon
Web Designer
Leon is a design maestro with the unusual combination of both artistic flare and common sense. The constraints of designing for conversions, usability, and to meet the demanding requirements of clients, Andrew and Sean seem to propel him to ever higher degrees of web design brilliance.
Sean
Senior Web Developer and Technical SEO Expert
The serious backbone of Gnu, Sean combines his many years of experience as a senior web and software developer with SEO expertise. Sean is always coming up with good ideas and innovative solutions, which he tends to jot down on paper together with arcane database maps and other hieroglyphics.
Terry
Internet Marketing Consultant
Terry is a new Gnu who prefers to interact with real live human beings rather than his monitor, which we are trying to understand. He spends most of his time giving brilliant Internet marketing advice to business owners. He is a big fan of pasta and sushi, we presume separately.
Susan
Office Manager and Bookkeeper
Susan is the office manageress and chief bean counter, and is also responsible for ensuring clients receive the care that they deserve, keeping us all organized, and ensuring that Sean has the paper on which to jot down his numerous ideas.
Sven
Copywriter
Published novelist and expert copywriter, Sven is a superb and prolific web and blog writer who also bets on horses. He describes himself as “writer, recovering socialist, ranter, surf enthusiast and father of a difficult dog”.
