It\u2019s all well and good knowing a brand as a brand, but do you know who you\u2019re even talking to behind the screen? Well, here at ideal flatmate<\/a>, we\u2019ve got a pretty cool bunch of folk, if we do say so ourselves. So much so, that we think they need a little bit of raving about – you know, a whole blog post dedicated to them.<\/p>\n

We slipped into their emails (we know DMs sound much better, but we’re not great fibbers) and asked some questions for you to know a little more about them.<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t pick a favourite OK?<\/p>\n

\"Meet<\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of or spoken to Alex at ideal flatmate, then you’ve basically been living under a rock. Alex is not only our Social Media guy, but he also heads up the team of our Online Brand Ambassadors across the country, and we sure have a lot of love for Alex here – who’s been with us for over a year, starting when it was just Tom and Rob! You’ll most likely find Alex chuckling to himself over a meme he’s found online, causing a stir on Reddit or working his way around the Facebook groups – it’s fair to say that he takes his social role very seriously!<\/p>\n

Introduce yourself in a sentence<\/h2>\n

Video games player, Japanese jiu jitsu learner, football goalkeeper and Netflix binger.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your background?<\/h2>\n

I grew up in Bordeaux, France. After a year of being in the French military police, I decided to go to Uni in London to study Business and Spanish. After graduating I started working into sales, and I realised I loved the digital marketing side of today’s Business orientations. I was super lucky to join ideal flatmate who took a chance on me despite not having all the required experience!<\/p>\n

When you’re not at ideal flatmate, what’s your favourite thing to do?<\/h2>\n

Go out for food & drinks with my girlfriend Amy and friends. But most of the time I’ll just be watching funny shows like Rick and Morty.<\/p>\n

Which is your favourite area in London?<\/h2>\n

Tough one, I haven’t explored that much of London yet, I really should get out more… I’d have to go for Hackney or Shoreditch because they have a great entrepreneurial culture and a strong community feel.<\/p>\n

Where do you enjoy eating and drinking in the city?<\/h2>\n

Pizza at Franco Manca<\/a>, Rosa’s Thai Kitchen<\/a>, and the Sail Loft<\/a> in Greenwich for food. Netil360<\/a> and Mare Street Market<\/a> for drinks!<\/p>\n

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?<\/h2>\n

In the ideal flatmate office… Or maybe Canada?<\/p>\n

Quick fire round:<\/h2>\n

Early riser or night owl?<\/strong> Night owl that wishes to be an early riser
\nHouse party or dinner date?<\/strong> Pub!
\nCoffee in or coffee out?<\/strong> IN. #savetheplanetplease
\nCooking or takeaway?<\/strong> Cooking on a budget.
\nMusic or TV?<\/strong> TV.
\nLaundry or dishes?<\/strong> Depends, do we have a dishwasher and a washing machine? In that case dishes. If not, probably dishes too.<\/p>\n
