Hermione Blandford is the Content Editor for Shortlist’s social media which means you can usually find her scrolling through Instagram and calling it work, or stopping random people in the street and accosting them with a mini mic. She has previously worked in food and drink PR for brands including Johnnie Walker, Tanqueray, Gordon's, The Singleton, Lagavulin and Don Julio which means she is a self confessed expert in spicy margaritas and pints, regularly popping into the pub in the name of research. She loves hearing about the latest booze releases, and is always scouring the city for the best places to go out. Sometimes, she is let loose to write articles and covers all things lifestyle including: alcohol (surprise surprise), tech, books, fashion, film, and music.
