Meet Kevin Metcalf

Which 5 things can’t you live without?

My family
My two dogs
My PS4
Reddit
Swims in the ocean

If you weren’t doing your current job, what would you be?

I’d have to choose being a pro-golfer. Long career span, good travel opportunities, make decent money and it doesn’t seem too strenuous. I’d have to learn to play golf though.

If you could have dinner with any three people in the world (dead or alive), who would they be and why?

Elon Musk — The definition of a visionary — Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company. He also has an interesting/scary view on AI. Plenty to talk about!

Nelson Mandela — cliché, but we all still have a lot we could learn from him

John F Kennedy — he lived through a very interesting time and is one of the more colourful historical figures

Describe yourself using five emojis.

What’s your favourite thing about being a Synergize employee?

My most favourite thing is definitely my colleagues, we’ve got an amazing group of people together which makes coming in to work every day a good experience. I have also learned the value of being part of a network agency, the access to major international brands and markets — and the associated learning/growth opportunities — is second to none. In the past 12 months alone I have worked across 20+ markets and one of the biggest AdWords accounts in the world!

What is your spirit animal?

Great White Shark 🦈

What is your favourite vaping flavour?

Toss up between Lemon Cheesecake and JIF (Juicey Iced Fruit)

Do you have any beard grooming tips?

Commit to growing it properly or shave, scraggly beards don’t do anybody any favours. And keep it clean — I wash and brush mine daily 😊.
