Trevor van de Ven loves technology and passionate about communications and is a petrolhead at heart; his job marries this all. In the past, he has headed up Meropa's Consumer Technology Division but now, using his in-depth understanding of digital media and communications, he develops integrated communication strategies and campaigns for Meropa's clients.

Having begun his career in public relations with a focus on technology PR in 2000, he also worked as a journalist and editor of T3, a consumer technology magazine.

After experiencing media communications from both sides and having built up a solid group of friends in the industry, he decided to further his career in what he'd originally studied, PR. He holds a BA degree in applied public relations.

Trevor also co-hosts South Africa's only weekly motoring podcast, ZA Car Show (www.zacarshow.co.za), a project that marries communications, cars and technology - his three loves (excluding his wife and children, of course, who are his first loves).
