Online Marketing Talk at St. Scholastica

Posted by New Media Philippines in Events Coverage Jan 19th, 2010 | no responses

I was invited by Ms. Katrina Lim to give a talk on internet marketing opportunities for the Filipino youth at St. Scholastica in Manila last week. I usually give talks to schools because one of my passions in life is to share knowledge with the youth and to inspire them to be more aggressive in reaching their dreams. Anyway, I was initially surprised to see men in the audience. I asked the organizers if St. Scho had male students and apparently the event was a joint project between St. Scholastica and San Beda University. “Cool, this event is a talk and a soiree,” I thought to myself, haha!

The talk was pretty much straightforward and was focused on things that the students could do during their spare time. I gave various case studies on young online entrepreneurs and what they did to make their businesses grow. The tone and delivery was a bit informal since I felt that the usual business approach wouldn’t click with the crowd.

My co-speaker was Ms. Stephanie Caragos, CEO of Syntactics. We had several interesting discussions after the talk and I think I’ll be working with her on future projects soon.

Anyway, thanks again to Katrina and St. Scholastica for the opportunity to share what I know with the students.
