Digital Influencers Marketing Summit Cebu (November 24, SM City Cebu)

Work with influencers and brand advocates to generate awareness and interest in what you have to offer.

Develop activities and advocacies that will take your brand image to a different level. Let your customers define what your product is for them, take ownership, rather than you dictating what you want it to be.

The Digital Influencers Marketing Summit Cebu #dim2012 aims to empower entrepreneurs, marketers, and advertisers with insights on working with influencers and brand advocates.

It is also an ideal conference for those who are aspiring to become influencers and recognized brand advocates.
