I met many bloggers, youtubers and instagrammers at this workshop which was full of sponsorship opportunities with brands such as Hermo, b.liv, Havaianas, Lazada, MILO® NUTRI UP™, BLU, JBL, and ZICO® Coconut Water, Monster Energy, and TagBooth. My children loved the giant Havainas slipper float and we won that at the lucky draw. I liked TagBooth where I could take memorable and creative photos which were printed out for us but most importantly, I learnt how to improve myself as a blogger. Thanks to SushiVid for organizing this workshop.
