Five minutes with…Fraser Linkleter, chief marketing officer at Slots Temple
This month's quickfire Q&A comes courtesy of Fraser Linkleter, chief marketing officer at Slots Temple
Q. What do you enjoy most about your job?
Creating and developing a product that our visitors enjoy and come back to.
Q. If you could give one piece of advice to a CMO, what would it be?
Be flexible in your thinking and plans. Some things that you are convinced will bring outstanding results won’t, and other things that you don’t expect much from will fly. Don’t be dogmatic in pursuing projects that are not delivering.
Q. Who would play you in the movie about your life?
This would quite a boring movie… Mainly focused on working and looking after kids! So, which lucky actor would get this plum role? I like James McAvoy, so he gets it!
Q. What’s your karaoke song of choice?
I have a terrible singing voice! Probably the least poorly received song I’ve attempted is ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’ by the Beatles.
Q. Which one thing can’t you live without?
Hot showers. I spend far too long in the shower each morning!
Q. Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with?
John Lennon or Paul McCartney.
Q. Where would you time travel to and why?
1960s London to see all the great musicians of the era live.
Q. What is your favourite TV programme?
Succession.
Q. What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
I’ve got a sweet tooth, and I eat too much chocolate.
Q. If you won the lottery, what would you spend the money on?
I’d find the perfect family house in London and then a villa in Italy – possibly somewhere on the Amalfi Coast.
Q. Name one place everyone should visit before they die.
Italy (Rome, Amalfi Coast, Sicily to kick things off!) – fantastic food, people and culture.
