The agendas of the sharing session were:

All the content and examples during the sharing were taken from real-life experiences. We shared about what we had learned from our existing Exabytes Digital clients.
Throughout the 2 hours, the topic became the highlight as we received responses from the crowd. All the students and lectures were sporting to participating in a simple quiz. Overall, the audience learned many real-life practical sharing from the speaker.
Towards the end of the sharing, Martin had given some tips to the students. In order to stand out from everyone during the interviews, one of the tips he mentioned was the benefit of owning a personal website. Having a personal profile website can differentiate one from others and help with building a personal brand.
Second, after 3 years of heavy involvement in the digital marketing world, the pace of new technology, algorithm and trend is extremely fast. He opined that students will be more advantageous if they are able to adapt and innovate the latest technology.
As Malaysia is already a mobile-first country where it is normal for one person to own more than one mobile device, he also suggested utilising the mobile apps to create quality videos and photos.
