Enhancing your skills to be ready for the future
Hannah Felipe has always been interested in digital marketing since after her graduation back in 2007. Her career has exposed her to various digital activities, which allowed her to witness firsthand the continuous evolution of digital marketing. Despite that, she felt that she was not able to prepare when the e-commerce industry progressed quickly after the pandemic hit in 2020.
This made her realize the importance of being prepared for the future. She knew upskilling herself is a strategic way to remain equipped with up-to-date digital marketing skills. This will also allow her to flourish more in her career and cope with the constant change in the digital marketing industry.
“It became my mission to upskill myself. I was scared that I may lag behind the younger, more digital savvy people and so when I saw the digital marketing specialist course of Refocus, I took it. I’m learning a lot from the course and the flexibility that I can jump in and out of classes works well for me. I’m excited to complete the course projects as I know that I can learn more from this through actual practice,” shares Hannah.
The future of digital marketing in the Philippines has been constantly growing at an unprecedented pace. Upskilling through online courses is a sure way to ensure that your skills remain relevant in the changing times and be ready for what lies ahead.

From Techno-Phobic to learning Digital Marketing
What if you are someone who considers yourself as a “technophobic”? Would the courses from Refocus PH still be a fit for you? Take it from another student by the name of Grel Gregorio who has a reformed mindset as she started being part of the Refocus PH program.
“Being a little technophobic and an old soul, I never expect to enjoy the Digital Marketing Specialist Course. Their program makes me look forward to every lesson and online meetings with my Refocus classmates and mentors. The subjects are concise and compelling and I love the applications and case study discussion for each learning item. I can definitely say that this course offers a lot of value for its price,” says Gregorio.
