Meet Avalon; the enthusiastic marketing officer with an eye for detail and creativity. Avalon is involved in managing social media and helps convey EEZZ's message effectively.
Can you introduce yourself and your role within EEZZ?
Hi! My name is Avalon, I am 28 years old and work within EEZZ's marketing. My duties are super versatile, which is exactly what I love! I manage all our social media channels, make sure the graphics look sleek and professional and deal with promotions and communications. From devising a new campaign to drafting a striking newsletter-no two days are the same! Where necessary, I also help out in the back-office to keep everything running smoothly.
What is an indispensable skill that someone in your role needs?
You absolutely have to be able to switch quickly and be flexible! One minute I'm working on a newsletter for our owners, five minutes later I'm designing a 4 by 4 metre banner, and before I know it, I'm in the middle of a strategy meeting about our social media campaigns. No day is predictable, and that's what makes it so much fun!
Do you have a favourite motto?
‘Take the step, what have you got to lose?’ This motto helps me make choices and take risks. I have learnt that making mistakes is not a bad thing, as long as you learn from them. You only know what something can bring you when you try it, so why not do it?
What is the best part about working at EEZZ for you?
Without a doubt my colleagues! Every time I am in our Landgraaf office, it feels like a party. We have a close-knit team, and the energy and cooperation make every working day fun. Of course, my work is super varied in itself, but the people around me ensure that I enjoy going to work every day.
Besides, I may not be the standard office type. No pencil skirts or rigid dress codes for me-I feel most myself in band shirts and with my tattoos. With many employers you do notice that this is (unconsciously) judged, but at Guy and EEZZ I felt completely welcome from day one. No pigeonholing, no prejudice, just a place where you are appreciated for who you are. That is hugely refreshing and makes EEZZ a great place to work for me!

What is a memory within EEZZ that you will never forget?
Our Christmas trip to London was definitely a highlight! Walking around a beautifully decorated England with the whole team, enjoying the atmosphere and of course lots of fun-those are the moments that stay with you. But actually all team outings are great. I wouldn't miss my colleagues for anything, and that says it all!
