Matt Orozco, one of the newest members of our marketing team, joined our workplace on Monday, July 29th.  Matt will be managing GEM’s social media accounts, doing everything he can to get more followers, from regularly posting fun content to analyzing trends in the market to find out what clients want to see.  At GEM, we like to get to know each other on a personal level to encourage a friendly environment, so we asked Matt a few questions about himself that we hope you will enjoy reading about below!

Q: Tell me about yourself.  Where you were born, where you went to school, past career experience and your role at GEM.

A: I was born and raised in western Ridgefield Park, NJ, and I spent most of my days at the town playground. Once I graduated from Ridgefield Park High School, I went on to study Global Communications at Ramapo College where I learned nothing about digital marketing until I started my first internship. In my past jobs, I helped businesses grow and develop, from being top ranked in their respective agencies to gaining 1000+ followers in a 5-month period.

Q: What are your hobbies outside of work?

A: My current hobbies consist of hiking, playing League of Legends, running from my problems, and also traveling away from my problems.

Q: Where is your favorite place that you’ve traveled?

A: Puerto Rico and Alaska; but I’ve always wanted to go to Japan as well!

Q: What are your pet peeves?

A: When people mess up my colorful assortment of paperclips… (inside joke)

Q: How do you prefer to start and end your day?

A: I like to start my day with a large Dark Roast iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts, no sugar just cream (if you’re reading this please fund the Matthew Needs Coffee foundation), and I like to end my day getting that W in League of Legends or watching a good episode of Anime.
