4. The Beginning
The Client
Chef Hasset Go is a young and
multi-awarded pastry chef based in
Manila. He is the owner of
MedChef Homemade Cakes and
Pastries and is a product of Heny
Sison Culinary School.
I personally know him for being
one of the chefs I featured on my
blog www.sleekinthecity.com.
He is also very popular among
bloggers as he used to invite them
whenever he has events.
5. The Beginning
The Plan
Once, we have talked about his
plan to create an event involving
bloggers as well as his friends
from the media industry.
This plan was shelved for a
while. But Chef Hasset
continued with his works. He
had appeared in various media
such as TV, Radio, Print and
Online. His latest
accomplishment is becoming
one of GoNegosyo’s Top 50
Young Entrepreneurs.
6. The Beginning
The Opportunity
The opportunity to become a
student of Ateneo-DigitalFilipino
Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur
Program compelled me to continue
with the plan that we thought of
more than a year ago.
The timing was perfect. Chef Hasset
Go is looking for someone who can
help him with his promotions
especially now that he is planning to
launch his recipe book entitled
“Desserts to Go”.
He also wants a blog for himself.

50. Part 1: Learning
It is very important to experience (not just
know) the personality or the Unique Selling
Proposition (USP) of the brand that we want to
blog about. I have realized that this shall affect
immensely the over-all design of the blog (i.e.
colors, font style and etc.), the writing style to
be used and the topics to write about. It is
such a blessing that Chef Hasset Go is a good
friend of mine and knowing him personally
helped me a lot in this project.

members as of May 8, 2012 – 67 vs. 50
No. of Chef Hasset Go Bakers Network
members as of May 8, 2012 – 37 vs. 20
67. Part 2: Learning
Even though our primary objective is not really to
increase the number of Fanpage Likes but to
increase the amount of interactions within the
current Fanpage, I was glad to have reached 11%
increase in Fanpage Likes. I have learned that
interactions, in itself, can also be a tool that can
drive the Fanpage Likes upwards. Still, if the
primary objective is to increase the number of
Fanpage Likes, direct marketing and Facebook
advertising are the best tools to use. Recently,
Facebook had cut the connection between the
number of Fanpage Likes with the number of
Likes to a certain photo within the Fanpage. This
means, Photo Contests and similar campaigns
may not anymore be as effective as they used to
be.
68. Part 2: Learning
Creating a Bloggers Network as well as a
Bakers Network is such an enjoyable thing to
do. For years, marketers had explored so
many ways to create a database of its target
market in order to know them better to
ultimately serve them better. Through the
Bloggers Network and the Bakers Network, I
was given the chance to know more about the
bloggers and bakers who are passionate
about baking, cooking, culinary arts and the
related works of Chef Hasset Go in a much
easier way- through online.

83. Part 3: Learning
Nothing beats a Blog Marketing Campaign in the form
of an Event Activation with Bloggers. For me, it is the
ultimate materialization of everything that is in the
online world (blog and social media) to the offline
world (event). It bridges the gap between the two
worlds to create not only interaction and engagement
with the target market but the ultimate experience of
the target market with the blog as brand.
Another great lesson I’ve learned is that not all
sponsors are willing to pay in cash. But the case is
different from events that were already running for
more than five years and are considered to be very
credible for being organized by highly-respected
industry leaders such as Ms. Janette Toral’s iBlog.
84. Part 3: Learning
The challenge for newbie social media event
producers is how to persuade the sponsors in
considering giving cash sponsorships and/or how
to maximize the in-kind sponsorships to be as
good as cash.
Ultimately, the blogging and social media industry
is a Blue Ocean- a fresh opportunity for budding
entrepreneurs and leaders to explore. Blogging
and social media is so relevant to everyone today
that even an ordinary events producer and a chef
can already create a full campaign (blog, social
media and events marketing) involving bloggers
and social media influencers for their brands.
