Attendees included around 200 tenants of the mall.The talk was made possible through the leadership of Ms. Joy Polloso, GM of Ayala Center Cebu, and the generous support of the Ayala group and Moldex Products Inc.

Coke vs. Pepsi: Example of Brand Loyalty and Preference

How do you define brand loyalty? It is the state in the customer's mind where he is willing to go the extra mile just to get the brand he wants. I think it was a Heinz ketchup executive who gave this example: if the customer went to a supermarket looking for Heinz and did not find it among the ketchup displayed, will then postpone the purchase or go to another supermarket just to buy Heinz. For a child, that explanation would be too long. For the child in this vendo commercial, the extra mile is 2 cans of Coke. (not sure though if this is a legitimate commercial that actually aired.)Wouldn't you like to be the preferred brand?

A Vision-Driven Guide to HyperMarketing Plans for the Brand with Your Name On It

The most important brand in the world is you. Not Google, not Coke and not Sony as changes to these brands don't really affect you as much as what happens to your personal and professional brand. All things being equal, a brand with a plan has more chances of success than a brand with no plan. So why not use marketing and business principles for the brand called you. Drive it with vision and constantly achieve!

"Many people overestimate what they can do in a year but more people underestimate what they can do in a decade."- Anthony Robbins in Awakening the Giant Within.

Web 2.0: A Whole New World!

Still hesitating to be part of the whole new world of digital... Resting in your comfort zone of bricks and mortars? Watch this!

Twitter 101

Twitter's widespread use is a testament to its ability to answer the communication needs of a lot of people worldwide. That Twitter exists side by side with blogs, email, SMS and Facebook indicates that it is sufficiently differentiated to address a gap between what its customers' need and want vs. what all the other competitors offer.

Maybe I've just been too time-starved to really learn Twitter; but if I am to keep in step with the rest of the world, learning it and using it the same way I use my phone, my blog and Facebook, then using Twitter is not an option but a necessity.

To share my learning curve with those who are also new to this, here is a collection of Youtube, blogs and htmls for the Twitter newbie...

Digital is Changing the Game!


I am a Certified Digital Marketer, CDM - shouted the embroidery on the sleek white jacket that I received last Jan. 20, 2011 as one of 18 CDM graduates of the 1st batch of the Ateneo- IMMAP (Internet Marketing and Mobile Association of the Philippines). While this technically means I completed the 11 modules of the Digital Marketing diploma program (2009 to 2010) it means so much more...



The CDM program included 11 modules covering marketing using Mobile, Email, Websites, Blogs, Search Engines, Social Networks, Virtual Communities as part of an Ethical and Integrated Marketing Communications Strategy. The latest and most popular technologies are already being used in AGSB and ASMPH marketing management classes where students have used personal Google blogs, Facebook, Slideshare and LinkedIn to view lectures, submit assignments, get latest announcements and attend on-line classes. More importantly, the students have continued access to the class marketing resources even after the trimester ends.

Digital is changing the game!
