10 questions to Mike

Question 1: Who are you?

I'm Mike, 26 years old and living in Arnhem. I have a nice little apartment there in the Boulevard Quarter from where I travel into the wide world every day.

Question 2: What are your hobbies?

Yes, this is becoming quite confrontational. You see, I have accumulated a bit many hobbies over the years. I think the main few hobbies I do regularly are: Fitness, Gaming, Movies, Music, Books, board games, good food and Bouldering. I can also regularly be spotted in a local Irish pub, as I have developed a thing for Stout beer I think.

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

Then I hope to have a little house somewhere outside in the province with my friend Myrna and our future dog Winston. Furthermore, by then I hope to have grown even more in both my position and as a person, and hopefully still be at OMA of course.

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

Pretty variable! But I think the common thread is gaming, a hobby I've had since childhood and now can really only find extensive time for it on weekends.

Question 5: What is your favorite travel destination?

My sister lives in beautiful Norway, so I do travel there regularly now. Last Christmas I even celebrated with the family there. The northern lights and all that on day 1, I can recommend it.

One place I have wanted to go to for a long time is Japan, we are now diligently planning (and saving) for that trip.

Question 6: What is your favorite social media channel?

I try to minimize it all somewhat to Youtube and LinkedIn, and am really the kind of guy who does have Blockers installed on other social media so I don't get on it by myself anymore, because only my girlfriend knows the password haha

Question 7: What is your favorite music?

Wow, this is a tough one. I’ve seen quite a few. Over the past year, I thought *Dune 2* was awesome, and *Sicario* is also a classic. You can make me happy every year (at Christmas) with *The Lord of the Rings*. I’ve watched *Breaking Bad* more times than I care to admit.

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

Good! What a warm welcome say, and the merch game is strong 😉

Question 9: What is your role at OMA?

I have been hired as a SEA Specialist, so I will be primarily involved in Advertising. Hopefully I can also work a lot with Google Tag Manager, automation and AI.

Question 10: What is your specialty within OMA?

My specialty is clearly advertising in e-commerce. I’ve worked with this a lot in my previous jobs and now have a good handle on it. I also always try to think about how I can use AI in a smart way for a specific situation; that often saves me a lot of time.
