MAD WORLD: “Unravelling the Creative Genius”

One of PJMA’s (Philippine Junior Marketing Association) biggestevent this year is #MADWORLD2015 having about 6500+ attendees. Bringing
Filipino Student Marketeers together in one place , coming from different state
universities and colleges here in the Philippines. (Kudos to the students from the North, Visayas and Mindanao)

It was to my surprise as I arrived at MOA-SMX, the massive
line at the entrance at 10am.  I
understand how difficult it was for the organizers and the security to handle
that much number. It may have taken time to accommodate everyone to their
designated places, but it was worth the wait.

Being accommodated on my high heels by one of the
organizers/members (Thanks Ralph Gonzales, @ralphgon) and meeting Karol Chee
(@missykarol), Director for Marketing at Philippine Junior Marketing Association, I
would like to say Congratulations!, for pulling of a successful event, Not only
to them but the rest of the officers, members and even volunteers. Thank you
also for the warm welcome.

I came representing WazzupPilipinas (Thanks to Sir Ross Del
Rosario @pinoytekkie) who is one of the media partners of the event, and to
share, I was hoping to see Kim Kaizen Lo of UST (Big fan <3), unfortunately I didn’t see him. According to a
friend, When I left around 3 pm, he came. – Hindi
Tadhana.

I’ve always been intrigue with the “Marketing side”, coming
from a different profession, this is an opportunity for me to learn and explore – most importantly. Maybe I could apply
what I learn, as a part time blogger.

The speakers, were very motivating and the topics they
tackle are very interesting, there was never a dull moment- Presentation pa lang, already grabbed my
attention.
Wished I finished the event but had other blogger commitments
that fell on the same day.
