Together with TheOneHourProject, we recently concluded the Digital Marketing Changemakers Programme with the third session “Amplify Your Voice”! 🎉

Our heartfelt appreciation to Yan Yi Chee for moderating the panel, and inspiring speakers Shefali Srinivas, Woo Ying Jia, Jamie Lim and Sulin Lau, who graciously shared their expertise. Also, thank you to all our skills-based volunteers (digital superheroes) and groundups for spending your evening with us. 💖

Key takeaways:
💡 You don’t need to pay for media coverage. Pitch your story effectively by sharing what you do to solve a real-world problem.
💡 Select creators who genuinely resonate with your groundup’s message and give them creative freedom.
💡 Be specific and intentional with your AI prompts to achieve the best results. If you need help, reach out to students who do AI marketing.

We hope you have greatly benefited from this series! ☺️🙌🏻
