Here at Glacier Media, our internal agency ecosystem is\u00a0made up of 150+ folks.<\/h2>\n

It’s time for another edition of Team GMD Q&A. It\u2019s kind of like Vogue\u2019s 73 Questions<\/a>. Instead, it\u2019s in blog\u00a0form and there are less than 10 questions \u2013\u00a0because you\u2019re busy and we respect your time.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

This week on Team GMD we are featuring Bilal Lashari, one of our Digital Coordinators. Bilal comes from an advertising and media background with special expertise in logic and problem solving. Read on to learn about his secret hidden talent, and why it’s imperative to always laugh at his jokes…<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

In a short paragraph, tell us a little bit about your role at GMD. What do you do on a daily basis:<\/h3>\n

I work closely with sales and account management team to help them with crafting strategies and media plans for their clients, to achieve their marketing and advertising objectives.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Personal kryptonite:<\/h3>\n

Anyone who doesn\u2019t find the stories I tell amusing. If you don\u2019t have an ear for my stories, I lose interest. I can talk non-stop, try me. Hear me out with all your excitement, or I will go quiet. And trust me, you don\u2019t want that. So laugh at my jokes and go \u201cooh and aah\u201d when I tell you something.<\/p>\n

Hidden talent:<\/i><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m a good photographer. I have an eye for great views, angles and lighting.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

When are you most inspired:<\/h3>\n

I would say it is definitely when I get to know someone new. I love learning about the paths people have taken to get to where they are. Ah, that\u2019s the stuff that keeps me goin\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Hobbies:<\/h3>\n

Sports. Especially cricket. I can explain what it is, I can go on and on, but I\u2019d rather do that when we talk.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Two truths and a lie:<\/h3>\n

1. I hate waking up early
\n2. I love food but eat very little
\n3. I tell bad jokes (Spoiler: others may see this as true, but it\u2019s a lie for me)<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

If you could pick up a new skill in an instant what would it be and why?<\/h3>\n

Graphic Design. I\u2019m not creative at all, but it would be an added skill to up my game, right?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Last thing you binge-watched?<\/h3>\n

Squid Game.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What\u2019s your favourite place you\u2019ve ever visited and why?<\/h3>\n

Istanbul, Turkey. It\u2019s the most beautiful city I\u2019ve seen with so much history, culture, and beautiful architecture. #Funfact: this city is split in 2 continents – Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

How do you keep your work organized?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m old fashioned. I prefer writing things down, besides internal softwares. I make a list of \u2018to dos\u2019 and \u2018done\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What are you typically doing on a Saturday afternoon?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m usually out with family, either shopping, meeting friends, or exploring new places if the weather allows.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?<\/h3>\n

\u201cRun Forrest Run\u201d – Forrest Gump
\nNot an advice directly, but it does inspire me.<\/p>\n
