Digital Media: To Infinity and Beyond!

by: Romelie Janelle Maranan


"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our heart unto wisdom." -Psalm 90:12

Taking the Journalism Students into a deeper perspective of the digital world, Go Beyond Studios held their digital campaign launch "Pursuing a Digital Career: An Introduction to the Digital Agency Setting" at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines- College of Communication last Friday, February 28.

Go Beyond Studios is a World-Class digital studio partnered with a top digital agency, Code and Theory, that specializes in the creation of digital experiences. They provide a more comprehensive solution and revolutionize people's digital engagement through different methods such as website design and development, digital planning, mobile and tablet applications, augmented reality solutions, games, social applications and other digital mediums.

The interesting fact about Go Beyond Studios is that they make the technical, scientific and complicated vast digital world into a fun, amusing, interactive and completely accessible world. Their creations do not only contribute to the advancement of our digital engagement but also have a paramount influence to our personal lives.

"Life is too short to waste it unnecessarily so we should live our lives to the fullest." Every person should learn the right way to excel in simple existence and achieve their goals to enjoy life. That is where Go Beyond Studios‘digital campaign, #ForwardFriday comes in. Discussed by Mr. Melchor Jamero, President and COO of Go Beyond Studios, #ForwardFriday campaign is a social movement that aims to help and inspire people make the most out of their days. Because of the fast-growing online world, this campaign will definitely be a big hit.

The campaign generally focused on how to achieve our goals in life. Mr. Jamero gave three (3) points about achieving our goals during his discussion through his various activities: "The shortest path between two points is a straight line.", "The target that you can‘t see is a target that you can't hit." and "You pay attention to your professor during lectures." These reminded us that we should always focus on our goals, never hesitate, and always go on a straight path to achieve our dreams. One of the best feelings is to have our dreams come true. Through this discussion, plus the good speaker who talked very well during the forum, the students are motivated and inspired to pursue their dream.

Go Beyond Studios also discussed about "Driving Traffic to your Content Through Search Engine Optimization". Discussed by Mr. Odelon Miranda, Chief Technology Officer of Go beyond Studios, the talk focused on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and how it works. He discussed about its importance and its uses in the digital world. Unlike the first talk, it is less interactive, more talk but we learned a lot.


"You are programmed since birth. But you have the choice to design your life to strive for excellence." The best thing that I learned in the forum is that we should not limit our abilities as what the world have dictated to us. We should strive for excellence, and through the help of the digital world, everything is possible. And may I say that the seminar is very successful because everyone had fun and learned at the same time, plus it is free! Go Beyond Studios should continue to reach out to different schools to disseminate information about the other side of the digital world.
