    In 8 years with SEOM, Robert progressed from an SEO Associate all the way to Senior SEO Manager. As a manager, Robert demonstrated a natural ability to lead, as well as balance a diverse portfolio of clients while bringing creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to the department. Now, as Associate Director of SEO, he continues to push his peers and clients to generate results that drive growth and help ensure the department maintains a competitive edge via tools, technology, and processes. Robert also provides mentorship to the SEO team, fostering their professional growth and development.

    Julia joined the SEOM team as an intern in spring of 2022. She loved the fast paced environment, collaboration between coworkers, encouragement to keep learning, and company culture at SEOM. Julia was hired full time in May of 2023, following her graduation from Rider University.

    She found her love for digital marketing in early 2020 when she started her own Instagram account and shop full of digital drawings and stationery, learning how to grow her account and business was her favorite part. Outside of work, you can find Julia reading (as much as possible), going on walks, hanging out with friends and family, and cooking!

    Julia earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing with a concentration in Digital Marketing at Rider University.

    Richard Than

    During his time at Drexel, Rich did a co-op at SEOM where he grew fascinated with the world of digital marketing and its impact in today’s digital era. After his co-op came to an end, Rich stayed on with SEOM as an intern and then joined the team full-time as an SEO Associate. For Rich, it was SEOM’s environment that led him to stay beyond his internship and eventually as a full-time employee. “Everyone is very approachable for help and supports each other as if it were one big family.”

    Outside of work, Rich enjoys driving around the city in his ’96 Miata, biking along the Schuylkill River Trail, and traveling to new places.

    Rich recently earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing with a minor in Management Information Systems from Drexel University.
