In 2006, we believed that Google is the next big thing and it is going to benefit a lot of small businesses. That is what inspired us to start OOm, providing Google Marketing solutions to SMEs.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What-hidden-characteristic-do-you-have-that-not-many-people-know-about\"><span style=\"color: #80173d;\">What hidden characteristic do you have that not many people know about?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>I am an introvert-extrovert, if you know what I mean \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"How-do-you-keep-your-team-happy-and-productive\"><span style=\"color: #80173d;\">How do you keep your team happy and productive?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adopting an open and transparent culture in the office is very important. This made discussions more open and, thus, we got things done faster. Team bonding (both formal and informal) also keeps the team together and it improves teamwork.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"How-do-you-see-OOm-5-10-years-from-now\"><span style=\"color: #80173d;\">How do you see OOm 5-10 years from now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We see OOm solidifying our core competency in the next 2 to 3 years.

How do you overcome those challenges?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are too many daily challenges to list down. I think in this role, it is important to embrace challenges with a smile. I believe challenges breed personal growth, as well as to propel the company to a greater height.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"How-do-you-keep-clients-satisfied-with-the-services-of-OOm\"><span style=\"color: #80173d;\">How do you keep clients satisfied with the services of OOm?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We strive to produce works that both clients and OOm can be proud of. Of course, service level is something that also keeps clients satisfied in our industry. We constantly gather feedback to improve ourselves to serve clients better.

We have been through up and down, got battered and came back stronger, and being able to still stand strong today is definitely one of the key highlights of our journey so far.
