ThE DIARY GAME: MY WEEK TWO (2) EXPERIENCE AT DIGIFYPRO BOOTCAMP by @justeenah || 10% PAYOUT TO @STEEMALIVE.

INTRODUCTION

Greetings fellow steemians. Its another amazing Friday, and as a way of saying happy Friday to you all, i'm going to tell you about one of the intriguing trainings i benefited from this year.

Digifypro is a ten-week online digital marketing bootcamp sponsored by Facebook and presented by DigifyNG. It's a bootcamp for recent grads who want to get a head start in digital marketing. The goal of this bootcamp is to provide teenagers with digital skills and then aid them in finding jobs in businesses where they can apply those abilities.Youths are exposed to different aspects of digital marketing throughout these ten weeks of online training, including content production, creative design, community management, social media management, strategy document, video editing, photo editing, and so on, before deciding on a focus area.
After a tough interview procedure, I was chosen as one of the 70 participants of cohort 9.0 in the year 2021. This bootcamp began on July 31st, and out of the ten weeks of intensive training, I'd want to share my week two experience with you.

WEEK TWO EXPERIENCE

You have the potential to learn something new when days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months.
In comparison to week one, week two of digifypro bootcamp was exhausting. Despite this, week two was an absolute blast. I'll give you a quick rundown of what happened each day in week two.

MONDAY

It all started on Monday, the 7th day of June 2021 with a session on goal setting anchored by Mr Seyi Omotunde. This session was indeed an eye opener because I was able to understand in detail what goal setting entails, and how I can set SMART (Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and Timely) goals in order for me to achieve a desired result.
At the end of the goal setting session, we had a digital Strategy session anchored by Mrs. Florence Atunwa Olumodimu. She introduced us to social media strategy and analytics where I was able to gain the knowledge of how to create a strategy document, creative and communication strategy, content calendar as well as how to conduct a social media audit. Sequel to this, Mr Seyi Omotunde walked us through the product launch for a brand. He showed us the objectives of the campaign, amazing creatives behind the campaign as well as the competitors' analysis. To practice this, we were given a live brief to work on. Each group was mandated to create a digital strategy document for Ndanitv, Stanbic IBTC Mobile App, and MTN “who dey call” campaign making reference to social media goals, target audience, competitors analysis, two weeks content content calendar, social media audit, communication strategy, creatives etc.

TUESDAY

In the morning hours of Tuesday, 8th June 2021, our facebook blueprint friend named Mr Joshua Theophilus exposed us to how we can tell our business story using Instagram. I got so much value from this as I learnt how to share my business unique personality, create a content plan, and lots more. He further went into details to explain how we can use whatsApp to communicate with our customers, set up a whatsApp business account as well as the importance of setting away messages.
More so, in the afternoon hours of that same day, Mrs Titilope Akerele, a guest speaker from Gain Recruitment changed my mindset by explicitly describing what emotional intelligence entails, and how important it is for one to work effectively in an organization. She also showed us an overview of digital jobs as well as exposed us to relevant skills every prospective employee should possess which are the skills recruiters look out for while recruiting.

WEDNESDAY

Furthermore, Wednesday being day 3 was utilized maximally by Mrs. Florence Atunwa Olumudimu who emphasized on the importance of personal branding by teaching us how to stand out with our linkedin profile in order for us to lure recruiters into noticing and hiring us. In the same vein, she emphasized to a great extent on the importance of each part of our Linkedin Profile, as well as how to claim our custom Linkedin Uniform Resource Locator ( URL).

THURSDAY

Thursday, the fourth day, was used by each group to research and prepare for the live brief (Strategy document) presentation for Ndanitv, Stanbic IBTC Mobile app and MTN “who dey call” campaign. As a team we dedicated our time, and relentless effort to research indepthly on these brands knowing that it was a “we task”. At the end of the research, we discovered the strengths and weaknesses of these brands, and drafted a digital strategy document for them. I contributed to both the research and creating of slides for our live brief presentation.

FRIDAY

The most exciting day of my week two experience was on Friday the fifth day. This was the day each group did their live brief presentation. It was an awesome experience. Each group was commended for the high level of improvement seen as compared to week 1.
The climax of the excitement came when my team was declared “the winning Team” for week 2 after the live brief presentation. Indeed the Achievers group (group 6) went the extra mile in their creativity. I’m super grateful to my team for the teamwork spirit found in each and everyone of us.

CONCLUSION

It is apparent that digifypro is a digital transformation Journey everyone should experience. The importance of digital skills in this 21st Century is on another level. Every youth whether educated or uneducated should be equipped with at least one digital skill. I can't stop saying thank you to Digifyng for the opportunity they gave me to gain digital skills from seasoned experts.

I will not also fail to say thank you to @peterabagi who introduced me to steemit and other leaders in steemalive whose consistency has been motivating me to remain on this platform.
