We’re starting to repeat ourselves, but the So Buzzy team has expanded a bit again. This time, we welcomed Thomas Berger. He started working with us on the 22nd of October as Social Media Manager. Since then, he has been enjoying himself by creating fun content for our clients, among other things.
What has he revealed about himself these last few weeks? He studied graphic design at an art school, he once was a carpenter, and in an impulsive mood, he sometimes dares to get a tattoo. Ramsay Bolton is his favorite character from ‘Game of Thrones’, but he’s not a big fan of doing squats. Want to know more about our new Social Media Manager? We asked him a few questions ?
- How were your first few weeks as Social Media Manager at So Buzzy?
Very good! The So Buzzy team has a very familial atmosphere, which made me feel right at home. Everyone also sees everything as a team effort: we go for it together and try to get the best out of each other. A mentality I can certainly agree with. And let’s not forget: Lola is a lot of fun ?
- What was your most fun assignment until now?
Most assignments are still ongoing at the moment, so I’ll have to get back to you ? What I can already tell you, is that I noticed from early on that my job is not always tied to a desk. This makes for some nice variation. For example, I make behind-the-scenes shots during video recordings. I personally really enjoy doing that.
- What kind of assignments or campaigns would you like to do in the future with So Buzzy?
I think it would be an interesting challenge to set up social media accounts for a company that is not yet active on social media. I would also like to work out some ideas for our own social media channels, where I can involve the whole team.
- What is your favorite social media channel?
Personally, I find this a difficult question, but I think I’m going for Instagram. I’m not overly active in posting pictures (anymore), but over the years, I have found nice accounts to follow. So my time on Instagram mainly consists of liking other people’s photos ?
- Which brand or company would you recommend to follow?
I think bol.com is doing a good job nowadays. Their posts are generally not too serious and that’s good! Personally, I look at social media to see fun things or to laugh. And the posts from bol.com usually make me laugh ?
- What is your favorite emoji?
I don’t really have a favorite, but I notice that I often use a ‘?’.
- Which TV shows would you recommend?
I’m going to put several of them here, because it’s hard for me to choose. I think ‘Manhunt Unabomber’ is one of the better series. Other than that, I like to watch ‘Vikings’ and ‘Game of Thrones’, among others.
- Which song is the perfect fit for you?
Again, choosing is difficult. I listen to music every day, so the song that fits me perfectly may change. Right now, I would choose the band Shame with the song ‘One Rizla‘. Just because it is my last played song in Spotify at the moment.
- If you could be an animal, which animal would you choose?
Very specific: an Exotic Shorthair cat. I have two of these cats myself and can identify with their behavior: generally, they are very calm, but in unfamiliar situations they can ‘panic’. Give them some time to get used to it and everything will be fine. And in general, their days consist of sleeping and eating, who wouldn’t want such a schedule? ?
- What do you do during the weekend?
I usually see my friends during the weekend. We never do much, but it is always very nice. We usually sit in ’the basement’. This is literally a cellar, where we have been for several years now. Most of the time, we listen to music and talk a bit, and occasionally, there is a party organized with more than 20 people.
- What is your favorite travel destination?
So far, Thailand! Even though t I can’t stand the heat very well, I found the nature in Thailand so beautiful, which allowed me to cope with it. I would like to go back soon!
- Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
10 years is perhaps a bit too far away for me to look ahead. At the moment, I am very satisfied with my life: I have a nice job, a super girlfriend and very good friends. So if my life looks just like today in 10 years, I would be happy.
