The event happened like few weeks back and I know I am very very slow cause I am only blogging about it now. It's my first time being part of Singapore Blog Awards but I am still not an invited guest. I was part of the events team which made this event happened. Being part of Waddup Events, we manage to get the deal with OMY team and get to work with them once again after the #SGSMD.
Not trying to gain cookie points but working with the team was a pretty cool experience as we work like we are an integrated team and not like they are client and we are
Over the weeks of preparation I get to meet lots of new blogger friends as well as meeting some familiar faces from the blogosphere.
Publicity
With the theme "History gets Social" on the the table, we called in for a photo shoot with some bloggers and I must say the biggest "profit" of this project was meeting the awesome Chrispytine ! She is one wacky girl ! Fine, that's from the #humsupleague point of view but it was awesome meeting the rest too !
Pete,Nabil, Eric and Darren.
I'm actually risking my life to show you guys this "never been shown footage"

| This has to be my favorite picture. |
Was there way earlier than the rest cause as usual we have to do the setup as well as rehearsal. Interesting enough the Show Host Ah Dong is a friend of mine from wayyyyyyy back when he was still a student.
It feels a little like my wedding cause I get to see so many of my blogger friends as well as some of the bloggers whom I have been talking to online but never met in person. Of course, I do not have the luxury of going around taking pictures with everyone so I manage to "steal" some pictures online !

Seriously, every other blog talks about the winners, must I do it again ?
Instant Feedback
This is the part which I felt that it's really different about all the other 100 overs shows I've done on average year as compared to Singapore Blog Awards. I get INSTANT and I mean INSTANT feedback about how good or bad the event was. Over the last week I have been reading so many blogs and so many tweets about the event. I almost get to hear it from every guest as compared to a DnD or a product launch I have done where guests walk away and my only KPI I could measure on was base on what my point of contact client says. This time round I get to hear so much more. I have heard positive comments about how good Shimona's singing was. How awesome was the food and pizza. How funny the skit was and how handsome the event manager looks. (koff* koff*).
Of course I also get some not so good feedback over some of the things like the skit was offensive, bad jokes and pointless or some comments about Steven Lim.
Feedbacks are always welcome be it good and bad and I believe that it should be pretty much the truth hearing it from bloggers and on their blog unless they are just trying to paint a nice picture so they could get invited again next year. Which I clearly doubt so.
Bonus Track
and for those of you who really like Shimona's singing, this is her Social Media Song which she wrote for SGSMD.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA SONG (original)
LYRICS:
Youtube, twitter, facebook too
I feel I'm getting closer to you
we used to be strangers but now that's not true
because i read and hear all about you
it does not matter if u don't reply
i know we're friends now, that's no lie
you always say good morning, hello and bye
i know where you go, how you feel, and why.
doo doo doo...
google plus, flickr, spotify
so many out there for you to try
put your life on the web and you will find
like-minded people all have a good time.
cuz ever since you entered my life
i don't feel alone anymore.....
So go on and
Youtube, twitter, facebook me
that's the way to get closer you see
we used to be strangers but that won't be
if you subscribe and get back to me.
What I Won
It's blog event and it's about Social Media and of course we have to do some social media "games"
And I think I won something too. BEST PLANK of #SBA2011 !! (Only Entry)
