More than three months in the making, House Wars 2020, the culminating activity of ComCo Southeast Asia’s Camp ComCo Mentorship Program has been finally concluded!
Under the supervision of the men and women behind the trailblazing and globally award-winning communications agency ComCo Southeast Asia, the budding talents of Camp ComCo Cycles 12 and 13 strived long and hard to showcase their talent for this final moment.
In three months, the 1st virtual run of Camp ComCo Mentorship Program was able to conduct rigid trainings and workshops about New PR and Smart Social, PR Writing and Content Creation, Media Engagement, Content Planning, Strategic Communications, Brand Marketing and Presenting Techniques, as well as specialization elective on Crisis Communications. The apprentices were also immersed in the actual communications practice by working alongside their mentors in the day-to-day operations of the Agency.
As part of the program conclusion, ComCo Southeast Asia partnered with Starbucks Philippines for the culminating project of the House Wars 2020. In preparation for the competition, Cycles 12 and 13 were graced by Starbucks Philippines Media and Corporate Affairs Assistant Manager Denise Barrameda who served as part of the pool of mentors of the program.
