First and foremost, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope you all had a safe, healthy, and restful holiday. I know many of us had and have high hopes for 2021. A hope that we can finally and firmly put 2020 and the pandemic in the rearview mirror. A hope that replaces the usual “new year, new you” mantras that usually full our newsfeeds and states of mind. As many of us see a continuation of lockdowns - it’s important for us to think of the things each of us has accomplished in 2020. Congratulations to those amongst our membership community that gained a DMI certification, that chose this time to upskill, to those that pivoted your business model, and business strategies.

We ran 12 live membership webinars in 2020, with 19,687 digital marketing professionals registered and over 7.5K people joined us for the live sessions, asking our experts the tough questions that matter. We surveyed and published the Whitepaper - Digital Paves the Way in response to Covid-19 which gave a solid, fascinating, and important insight into the world of digital marketing at an extraordinary point in time. In September 2020, we introduced ‘The Member Showcase’ and have released 5 of these interviews to date.

Another Day Not in the Office Membership Update Winter 2021 For a large number of us, we’ve started 2021 the way we finished 2020 - working from home! Whilst for some of you the concept of working from home is nothing new, the addition of partners, children, or constant Zoom/Slack/Teams chats and calls may still be proving a challenge. Aside from the pandemic, data presented in a vast array of surveys, all available online, make it clear that professionals prefer a hybrid approach to their work - having a mix of working from home and working from an office. It doesn’t look like we are going back to the office full-time any time soon. With that in mind Philippines Photo Editor and carrying on the theme of reflection - it might be time to review the lessons learned or routines that need refreshing and adopt a fresh approach to working from home.
