Good morning loves!  First of all, I wish you, yes you who's reading this, a very happy day today!  Please do wish me the same.  The workplace is always a jungle or a war zone for me and the times that I get some breather is when I attend workshops, events or training.  I love attending those mentioned because I absorb new learning about the field that I'm into which can be relatable to my blogging.

Last week, I attended the 7th Internet and Mobile Marketing Summit 2013 (IMMAP) "Digital Drive" at the Powerplant Mall.  It was my second time to attend it and I've learned heaps from the speakers whose expertise are in digital marketing, SEO, TV, telecommunications and advertising.  Numerous cases and sample executions of successful campaigns were also exhibited by some speakers.

If you are a blogger, a social media specialist or a community manager, this post is for you.  I will be sharing my IMMAP Summit 2013 takeaways which are all insightful and compelling thughts.
