Name: Maria Hagman

Likes: Metal music, Lee, tattoo design

Sits in the office: On the off-site table between Laura and Katie.

Maria is a senior link builder over on the off-site SEO desk, taking care of the two biggest fashion clients.

Maria’s journey to Stickyeyes from Sweden has seen her take in some pretty random jobs. She studied to become a bartender and worked behind a bar for a couple of years. She has also worked with mail order for a clothing catalogue, in a warehouse for lamps, in a grocery store, and as an independent beauty consultant for a famous makeup brand (she basically taught people how to apply makeup the “right way”)

Maria enjoys working alongside her two favourite Stickyeyes-girls and the fact that working with certain clients allows her to work in so many different sectors – fashion, technology, furniture and the like.

Maria claims that she doesn’t spend much time “away” from Stickyeyes, given that she spends most of it with our cod-Head of SEO. She challenged me to come up with something witty to describe that particular Sticky night out but I’m above that sort of thing.

The artist inside her likes to paint and draw, with plans to put most of her artwork in Lee’s house, and she designs her own tattoos. Despite not looking like a typical metal music fan, she is a huge fan and tells me that she did used to have black hair and used layers and layers of weird makeup at one point in her late teens.

As for interesting facts, two years ago Maria did some work as a bikini model for one of the most popular teen magazines in Sweden. Whilst on a language trip to southern England, she also learnt how to say “lehmällä on päänsärky”, which is Finnish for “the cow has a headache”.
