Michael Horton
Co-founder & Marketing Director
Loves cult movies—especially John Waters.
YouTube junkie. (Faves: kitten & painting videos.)
Literature major—but digs trashy sci-fi & horror over classics.
Michael Horton earned his stripes as a private banking executive, managing the delivery of elite client services and customized accounting systems tailored to niche industries—all with an eye on the bottom line. Michael then followed his passions for technology and business success into the online/interactive space, co-founding SMBLZ in 1999.
Since that time, Michael has guided a talented and diverse international team to create and implement transformative online marketing strategies and digital advertising campaigns for global brands such as Vodafone, Tesco, GE Money Bank, and Google.
When not working, Michael can usually be found indulging sideline passions for sushi and movies—often at the same time.
Michael has a BA (cum laude) in English literature from UCLA.
