10 questions for Matthijs

Question 1: Who are you?

I am Matthijs Herpers, 34 years old and live in Ede.

Question 2: What are your hobbies?

I enjoy sports: cycling and occasionally running. When the weather is good I like to make nice trips outdoors and when the weather is bad I cycle indoors, using Zwift. Because it's great to jump on my bike after a busy day at work. Furthermore, I am a fan of PSV Eindhoven and sometimes I play a little bass guitar.

Question 3: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In 5 years, I see myself as an online marketer with 10+ years of experience. I hope to add to my knowledge and skills in such a way that I can properly assist diverse clients(B2B and B2C, from general markets to niche markets, local to international), all of them. That keeps the work nice and varied.

Question 4: What do you like to do on weekends?

At the weekend, I mainly occupy myself with my hobbies (see question 2): sports, watching PSV and hanging out with family or friends. Once in a while I also go out on a terrace, eat out or visit a concert or cabaret show.

Question 5: What is your favorite travel destination?

I think Crete is a very nice island. It is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed. You can also do many fun things there. Moreover, I am a lover of Greek cuisine. You can quietly wake me up at night for souvlaki or pita gyros!

Question 6: What is your favorite social media channel?

YouTube. Few days go by where I haven't watched a single YouTube video. Just for entertainment or to learn more about a particular topic.

Question 7: What are your favorite movies and series?

I listen to rock music a lot. Within that, I listen to many different artists. But I also regularly have dance, pop and the top 40 in my ears!

Question 8: How did you like your first week at OMA?

I really enjoyed my first week! It was fun, I became familiar with the programs and tools OMA works with and was able to do some work right away.

Question 9: What is your role at OMA?

I will mainly be working on SEO. I am also experienced and interested in Google Analytics analytics, Google Tag Manager and CRO. Pretty all-round so!

Question 10: What is your specialty within OMA?

I think it's important within SEO that the content and structure of the site are helpful and relevant. I always like to think about that. I also find it important that the client 's situation (e.g., business goals, target audience(s) and positioning in the market) is well considered in the SEO strategy.
