Richard Than
Senior SEO AssociateRichard 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.
