1. What is/are your online platform/s? Please provide the URL/s.

WordPress at http://chadsenga.com/.

2. What kind of contents do you usually share or write about?

A variety of handpicked topics revolving around the local food scene, computer and platform games, technology and gadgets, Japanese culture, Japanese anime, music, photography, sports and other things that interest me in life.

3. How did you start building your community?

I initially started posting links and photos on my Facebook page and wall as well as Twitter and Foursquare accounts for friends to see until a few started sharing them on their accounts as well.

4. What is the profile of the people who are most active in your community?

A variety of kinds who are interested in the topics that I talk about, therefore also having the same interests as mine.

Social Enterprise: Re-Store Project

1. What is the project/social enterprise about?

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” With this saying in mind, I came up with Re-Store Project, an ICT-based project that could tap and offer a reuse-and-recycle  platform using technology and the internet.

 Re-Store plans to create an online eco-conscious community whereby any business and individuals in the Metro Manila—from restaurants to offices, schools to houses—can post their unwanted but usable equipment, furniture, computers, books, etc.  The community can then search for the item in the website www.Re-Store.ph  and offer to take the items off their original owners’ hands for free. Simply, the project aims to build a nationwide gifting movement by matching unwanted goods with individuals who can use them and to create eco-opportunities. Not only does the environment benefit from this system, it will also save businesses and individuals thousands of pesos in waste disposal and procurement costs, while forging closer ties among local community.

2. What specific need/problem does it address?

I would like to help solve the problem on waste management in Metro Manila. For at least a decade, the situation has become increasingly difficult to deal with. At present there are two major landfills used for storage of Metro Manila’s municipal solid waste: (1) the modern sanitary landfill in San Mateo, Rizal, and (2) the dumpsite in Payatas, Quezon City.

The crisis began in late 1999. Residents of San Mateo blocked the road leading to the dump site. They complained of the waste materials that fell off some 1,000 heavy trucks that passed by their homes daily. In early 2000 a major landslide occurred at the dumpsite in Payatas killing a large number of people living as scavengers at the site.

Today the small dumpsites are filling up quickly because Metro Manila produces 8,700 tons of garbage every day. No large-scale solution to the problem is yet in sight.

3. How did it start?

It’s a product of World Merit (www.worldmerit.org) group discussion which I initiated and dubbed as FREE-CYCLE MOVEMENT. The idea evolved to this platform, Re-Store Project.

The project website is under construction and is expected to be launched on November 2013.

Startup: Vanilla Digital Marketing

1. What is the startup about?

We’re all about social! For the past 10 years we’ve been involved in growing online communities in the UK, combining traditional online channels like forums and websites with social media. 3 years and several projects after, we figured out how unique we are and how we can help grow the digital marketing industry in the Philippines.

We have massive aspirations for our startup, not only in terms of providing genuinely good service but in offering decent, rewarding, and enjoyable employment for our team. If after reading this interview, you’ve grown some interest in joining our team - do get in touch!

Currently we are in the process of developing a platform where social media managers, businesses, bloggers, and influencers can share their knowledge, thoughts, and debate about digital marketing strategies, news, and hypotheses. More on that soon.

2. What specific need or problem does it address? 

Several brands are on Facebook, Twitter, etc. but lack of time, focus, and expertise becomes a blocker to nurturing an organic and meaningful community around a brand, product or service. We exist to help businesses and partners obtain real and meaningful value from social media. This is beyond mediocre social media presence, activity, and follower statistics.

In terms of skills, we exist to inspire digital marketers especially social media managers to become more organic and strategic in their practice. Hence, our aspiration to continuously grow our team, provide training, and truly rewarding roles in our organization.

3. How did it start?

My fellow co-founder and I, Anthony Trollope have been working together for 3 years on growing an online community in the UK called TWF which Anthony founded. We’ve managed to grow the community to over a 150,000 members and it is the largest trade market community in Europe.

Social media is a growing market in the Philippines and we spotted an opportunity to offer a unique service centered around our passion for community. We think we can offer something different to brands and small businesses already using marketing agencies or digital agencies for social media consultancy.

5 Benefits College Students Will Get in Attending the Digital Influencers Marketing Summit 2013

1. Tons of opportunities to meet potential employers.

If you are looking for job opportunities in digital marketing, you’re in for a treat. The event shall be attended by digital marketing practitioners. Whether you desire to join a company, a startup or even work as a freelance, taking the first step must be the first step. Let attending this event be your first step. And then the rest will follow.

2. In the age of social media, to become a digital influencer is the name of the game.

Whether you like it or not, you now live in the age of social media. Did you know that Paulo Coelho even has his own blog? If you think you should be the last person to be affected by this, think again. Social media, whether you like it or not, will affect you one way or another so why not might as well be good at it?

If you decide to learn social media and take your chances to become a digital influencer of your own “tribe”, know that the event will help you immensely. What better way is there than to learn digital influence from digital influencers themselves?

In the summit, you will meet twelve accomplished digital influencers who had excelled in their crafts. Learn from them and get the most that you can get from the seminar. To help you get the most from any seminar from now on, please check out our 10 Ways to Maximize Your Seminar Attendance presentation.

3. Digital marketing subjects are rarely offered in schools.

In fact, there is no course majoring in digital marketing yet. But digital marketing is an integral part of most marketing activities nowadays. Where else can you get the best learning than you can get aside from online materials and seminars like this?

5 Reasons Why the Digital Influencers Marketing Summit 2013 is a Value For Money Investment

1. Learning digital influence from digital influencers themselves is priceless.

Are there better ways to learn how to become a digital influencer than to learn it from the ones who have already done it?

Learn how Janice Crisostomo-Villanueva created Mommy Mundo and became one of the founders of Mercato Centrale. Learn how Mel Cortez grew the membership of PhotoMarket Philippines from 0 to 14,000 starting February of 2012 until now. Learn how Randolph Novino got as much as 50,000 views for his videos, which were shot using a simple point-and-shoot camera. Learn how Janette Toral built DigitalFilipino.com, a thriving digital marketing community since 1997.

Once a president of Harvard University named Derek Bok said, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” I believe he got a point.

2. Nine brilliant topics in digital marketing for the price of one.

Nine brilliant topics in digital marketing for the price of only Php1,500 is value for money. I have personally attended seminars ranging from Php5,000 to Php15,000 and I know that Php1,500 is too small to be compared to those. The event is actually perfect for people who are still beginning to learn about digital marketing as well as for those who are way beyond intermediate and still wanted to learn more from the invited speakers.

3. Twelve accomplished speakers who shall be generously sharing all their learning based on their very own experiences.

It is very rare to pool in one place all the accomplished speakers who are invited to talk in the event. It's hitting not just one, two or three birds at the same day. We're talking about twelve. Aside from what they'll be sharing through their presentations, I believe that the speakers will also be given opportunities to answer questions from the audience. I say, do not let go of this opportunity. I, myself, having spoken to a number of seminars already, answer exhaustively and as comprehensively as I can to satisfy a question- to be of help to others. I believe that the other speakers will do the same too. It's also interesting to note that some of the speakers shall be flying from Visayas and Mindanao just to speak in this event.

4. The 1,500-peso ticket is already inclusive of a kit and a lunch meal.

For the convenience of the audience, lunch shall be served during the event. The fee for which is already included in the Php1,500.

Startup: AllFamous Digital

1. What is the startup about?

My company is a digital agency, we provide search engine optimization and social media services to brands.

2. What specific need or problem does it address?

With so many new social networks and a constantly evolving online landscape (e.g. Google algorithms changing constantly), brands have difficulty keeping up, and maintaining a full digital team that are skilled and up to date with best practice. We maintain a team of specialists, so that companies don't have to.

3. How did it start?

We initially started as an integrated marketing agency doing full service from events to social media to websites, but we quickly realized this was too broad and we would not be competitive as a jack of all trades and master of none. Somewhat painfully we shed half of our business to focus on our core competency which is SEO and Social Media.

4. How does it work?

Brands engage us primarily to gain more value from their online and social presences. They realize their customers and competitors are active there, so they seek help from an agency. Very quickly we perform a digital healthcheck to ascertain their current state, then recommend a tailored strategy on how to achieve ROI. This typically involves:

-Social Media Optimization
-Web Analytics and Landing Page Optimization
-Social Listening and Lead Generation
-Community Management and Social CRM
-Blogging / Guest Blogging
-High Quality Backlinking
-Paid Advertising

My Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2013

1. San Josenyong Gala. What I like about this blog is the author’s pursuit of discovering the less-visited
places in the Philippines. While other travelers find their way in more popular destinations such as Boracay, Palawan and others, you may find San Josenyong Gala taking the road less traveled. Also, the author is a librarian, which made the blog all the more interesting.

2. Business What Ifs. What I like about this blog is its bravery in targeting business blog-readers who don’t like reading long articles, have short attention spans and prefer scanning and skimming. I am actually one of those people that's why I am nominating this blog.

3. The Faces. What I like about this blog is its ingenuity. While other blogs feature events, places and products, this blog talk about people. As said, it is a profile of passion, aspiration and self-introspection. I salute the genius author behind this awesome blog!

4. Barako Newsline. What I like about this blog is its phenomenal popularity. One day, I will meet its author and learn from him!

Startup: 199Jobs

1. What is the startup about?

199Jobs is a marketplace for simple services and small jobs, starting at an affordable 199 Philippine Pesos.

More: http://199jobs.com/about/

2. What specific need or problem does it address?

For managers and entrepreneurs, it's a great place to outsource and buy services to save money & time, and remove the stresses of hiring.
For freelancers, students and many others, it's a great place to offer and sell your services to earn extra income on your spare time.

3. How did it start?

The idea to put up 199Jobs came from the realization that there is a need to provide individuals, particularly freelancers and managers, an easy and convenient way to connect and work together.

The marketplace was born from that goal, and we have been working since early this year to help people make money and get things done.

4. How does it work?

It works like your regular classified ads website, but instead of products, all the listings are services with the basic price of P199.

If you want to make money from your skills, all you have to do is post a job, upload some sample works, market your page and wait for people to buy your jobs.

If you're looking to outsource some work, then you can navigate or search through the site until you find someone who can do the task you need. After that, it's as straightforward as ordering the job and then communicating with the seller on how to accomplish the job needed.
