YouTube announced its own take on the format in YouTube Shorts

Internet trends evolve and in the 2020s or in the era of staying at home, short-form video has become king. In 2021, YouTube announced its own take on the format in YouTube Shorts.

 

YouTube Shorts is an increasingly popular and exciting space that will bring lots of opportunities with audiences. Here are some helpful tips to create great YouTube Shorts content: 

Find your voice. From niche to mainstream content, there's a wide range of topics you can choose from as a creator. Focus on the theme that you’re most passionate about, and build your audience and community. 

 

Open strong. Use the first few seconds of your Short to make your viewers stay. Hook them in with something intriguing or compelling. You may open with a question and make them stick for the answer, or promise them something they would definitely want to see. 

 

Get to the point. You can still ramble and lose your way even in a short video. Make sure you edit your script well and quickly get to what people want to hear or see with your content.

 

Use trending music. When you use a sound for your Short, your content gets categorized under it. Naturally, that means using trending audio will increase the chances of more people watching your Short.

 

Promote your Shorts. To bring your content to more viewers, promote it on YouTube and beyond. Collaborate with other creators or pitch your content to relevant outlets to drive earned media. You may also use pinned comments to direct viewers to additional content on your channel. 

 

Keep on experimenting and uploading content. Like with long-form YouTube videos, if you stay consistent, keep creating, and keep improving your content game, it won’t be long before you thrive in this format. Be patient and remember that even on YouTube, successdoesn’t happen overnight.

Comm&Sense and its affiliate Roar scored big in the 10th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards

 

Fresh off its seven-trophy win and Agency of the Year nomination in the Anvil Awards, PR Agency Comm&Sense and its affiliate Roar scored big in the 10th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards by winning five metals, including three golds, in one of the most prestigious global awards for innovation.

 

In winning the Stevies, Comm&Sense-Roar became the only PR agency from the Philippines to win for its clients the top prizes in three highly coveted marketing and communications categories. More than 800 entries from 29 nations all over the world joined this year’s Stevies.

 

Comm&Sense won Thought Leadership Campaign of the Year for client PhilCare for its groundbreaking initiative, the PhilCare Health and Wellness Index: Helping The Philippines Transition from the Pandemic Into the Next Normal. 

 

A jury member commented that the PhilCare Wellness Index is a "great example of thought leadership in action" and how it can make a difference in people's lives. The PhilCare campaign won top prize over other winners in the same category: one from India and three others from the Philippines.   

 

Comm&Sense also won top honors in Innovation for Use of Social Media for #HindiBastaHeavy Campaign of Unilab’s Hemostan. The campaign was launched to break taboos associated with the discussion on heavy menstrual bleeding, a health danger to many Filipino women.

 

A juror commented on Hemostan's campaign: “The unique tool set up for the female market has a very profound social influence to focus more people's attention on the issue of caring for women.” The campaign was recognized as the best among five other winners in the same category, mostly from the Philippines and Indonesia.

 

One of the other winners in this category was also won by Comm&Sense for its client Save the Children – Philippines (SCP). SCP won a bronze award for use of social media for the program “The Pinoy Parent and the Advocacy for Positive Discipline,” an online campaign to promote positive parenting in the Philippines.  

 

Roar’s client, BDO Unibank, also won top prize for Innovation in House Organizations and Publications for its entry BDO’s Corporate Newsletter Goes Beyond News. 

 

​​”Outstanding! The range of content from business to sustainability to fun to heartwarming stories, the presentation and design, all are a treat to the eyes and the soul alike,” commented a juror on BDO’s newsletter, The Wayfinder. BDO’s entry was the only one deemed worthy to get an award in this coveted category.

 

BDO’s 2021 Sustainability Report titled Chronicling BDO’s ESG and the Nation’s Recovery also won the Bronze Stevies for Innovation in Annual Reports.

 

“We are deeply honored by this recognition from the prestigious Stevie Awards,” said Comm&Sense - Roar Managing Director Charlotte Reyes. “We are particularly proud to be the most awarded Philippine PR firm this year.”

 

Jaeger Tanco, Comm&Sense President, said the awards are a testament to the strong relationships and shared commitment Comm&Sense - Roar has with its partner brands to produce meaningful public relations campaigns and projects that benefit the public.

 

He credits the team’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation for the accolades the company receives both locally and internationally.

 

“These awards continue to validate our brand of Intelligent PR. The Stevies, in particular, affirm the effectiveness of our data-based approach to conceptualizing, designing, and implementing communication campaigns for both traditional and new media,” Tanco said.

Still unsure about giving your kid the COVID-19 vaccine

Pauleen Luna-Sotto and fellow moms come together with experts to discuss vaccine concerns

 

In a recent online talk show, the Department of Health (DOH), with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Breakthrough ACTION project, brought moms and medical experts together to discuss the importance of COVID-19 vaccines for families, especially for young children. 

 

“Batang Bakunado, Todong Protektado”, hosted by television personality and vaccine advocate Pauleen Luna Sotto, addressed common questions and concerns from parents on the safety and benefits of vaccines. Representatives from parent groups, Moms Support Moms PH, Usapang Nanay PH, and Best Nanay joined the show to share their personal experiences and concerns of fellow moms over the vaccines.

 

“Batang Bakunado, Todong Protektado” talk show hosted by Ms. Pauline Luna-Sotto along with medical experts Dr. Maricar Santos, Dr. Anna Ong-Lim and representatives from different parent groups. 

 

Are the vaccines still necessary?

“When my daughter turned five, I immediately had her vaccinated because she goes to school everyday. For parents, getting their children vaccinated brings a sense of relief. We can’t keep our children inside the house forever,” shared Ms. Luna-Sotto. Pediatric expert Dr. Anna Ong-Lim echoed this, stressing that vaccine coverage for children 5-11 years old continues to lag with only 51.63% of the target population fully vaccinated. 

 

What can we do about vaccine side-effects? 

Dr. Maricar Santos from the DOH shared that more than five million Filipino children have already been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

 

Dr. Ong-Lim shared that if side effects are observed, these are common, usually mild, and easily manageable at home with fever medications or a simple cold compress for swelling on the arm. Many local government units will even provide paracetamol after vaccination. “We have all of these safeguards - observation post-vaccination, providing contact numbers, and medications, all to make sure okay ang bata pag uwi,” said Dr. Ong-Lim.

 

What can parents do to keep the world a safe place for their kids?

The moms present shared that the vaccination process was quick and easy for them. With the guidance of their parents, the children themselves understood the benefits of being able to go back to school and play with their friends and families while staying protected. 

 

At the end of the show, moms and medical experts invited fellow parents to stay updated with the best and correct health information through the DOH platforms, so that we all understand why the COVID-19 vaccines are still important for our whole family.

The Medical City Wellness & Aesthetic Institute supports holistic health and wellness for all ages and life stages

Regular checkups are important for overall health and wellness. This can help screen for possible health problems, and support early treatment to catch a condition before it worsens.  

“It used to be that a lot of people think that they need to get a check-up only when they feel that something is wrong,” says Dr. Christian Flores, The Medical City Wellness & Aesthetic Institute (WAI) Director. “This also covers the spectrum of those who are hesitant to consult a health professional and wait until it is too late and the condition may have already become severe.”

 The Paradigm shift from Reactive to Proactive Healthcare System

While this may be the case, Dr. Flores says that there are more people who are doing more proactive checkups. Especially today when lifestyle diseases such as cancer or diabetes are starting to affect younger people. If there are health conditions that are present, there are interventions that are readily available at the institution, including monitoring and treatment from dedicated and highly-skilled medical practitioners who are at the top of their field. This can help clients make a healthy lifestyle change to avert further complications. 

“Whatever stage of health status you are, whether you’re really at optimal health or if you have risk factors, you can be given guidance and recommendations early on,” Flores adds. 

Personalized healthcare across all age segments   

WAI offers services that comfortably help patients take charge of their health. “The most common are the screening programs across the age spectrum – pediatrics, adolescence, young adult to geriatrics. It’s a spectrum of services offered as different packages that are really designed to address certain conditions that are prevalent on a particular age group,” Flores explains.

The Basic Package is designed for both male and female from the ages of 19 to 39. This includes screening of a client’s metabolic condition, to check how the body handles blood sugar, protein, and cholesterol, along with x-rays for the lungs and heart.

For males who are mid-adults in their 40s and above, there are screening packages that include evaluation of their prostate or the urinary tract. For mid-adult women, certain tests are included such as breast exams, ultrasounds, and pap smears. That’s on top of the basic package, which is already very comprehensive.

In older clients, the screening program includes frailty assessment and cognition assessment in addition to blood tests to check sugar, protein, and cholesterol levels.

For children, especially those who are active in sports, there are wellness check-up packages to help them with fitness readiness, and with the prevalence of mental health challenges at that impressionable age, WAI also has counseling to address their psychological health. Those who want to bloom in time for their grand debut can avail of the Makeover Package that includes dental, dermatologist, and nutritionist consultation along with routine testing.

Revolutionized and Digitalized Healthcare Delivery 

WAI has a digital database, so clients already have a clinical summary that they can present to their physician. That includes the comprehensive medical history, height and weight, physical exam and lab findings, and a list of recommendations from the doctor that saw the patient. These are updated on an electronic medical record (EMR) every time they come in for a checkup. According to Dr. Flores, this allows them to track their progress and results. “Medical profiling helps us find ways to further optimize their health through diagnostic tests and the result of their lifestyle modification. That’s what we use to design packages when a patient wants to customize their package later on.” 

More than wellness, The Medical City also offer aesthetics intervention and lifestyle management

Aesthetics is another area where clients can prioritize their wellness. “It’s been recognized that how you look really plays a part in the overall holistic care of the self. Wellness also includes what’s inside, and the confidence that comes from how you look outside. We do provide a set of services to accommodate that. WAI really provides services for enhancing internal functioning and how you look – all in one facility. We believe that aesthetics complete the holistic health of a person.”

Lifestyle Medicine, the institute’s new program which was launched last year, is a medical intervention program designed to address risk factors found during a screening program like the executive check-up. “One of our strengths is that we are well-connected with the doctors and subspecialists of The Medical City. We also have a Lifestyle Intervention Program that normally would be recommended after the initial assessment or the Preventive Health Check-up for those with borderline findings on health conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol, to help them manage the medical condition. As we advocate a holistic approach to wellness, we have a wide variety of support programs and supplemental procedures, like acupuncture and ventosa cupping, massage therapy, and life coaching for stress management,” Dr. Flores explains. 

WAI aspires to be the guiding light when it comes to transforming wellness and how one lives their lives. Housed in one institute, all of the programs encompassing from preventive, lifestyle medicine, and aesthetic intervention are tailor-made to fit the health needs and unique characteristic of each and every patients. No matter what stage a person is in their journey, WAI’s programs can adjust to fit the needs of each client.

Samsung partners with contemporary artist Leeroy New

Samsung continues to highlight its commitment to #EverydaySustainability as they partnered with contemporary artist Leeroy New to create a sustainable art piece for the launch of their flagship line-up, the Galaxy S23 series.

Leeroy’s art installation called Ectoplastic Fantasia was the centerpiece in Samsung’s Epic Sustainability room during the Epic House Event. The installation featured ambiguous forms of marine life made from discarded plastic that lined the ceiling of the room.

On the inspiration behind his newest piece, Leeroy explained, “These prehistoric-looking sci-fi creatures hanging above us right now made out of discarded plastics speaks about how a lot of these end up in our ocean. Having done large scale works, I have learned to think about the life cycles of the materials I use and I have put it on as a personal challenge to strictly use materials that are already available instead of buying new ones.”

Leeroy has been a catalyst in the Philippine art scene with his visions of nature and science-fiction across different fields of theatre, fashion, film, and visual art. Born in Mindanao, Leeroy has created eye-catching works of art to shine the spotlight on the problem of climate change such as his latest piece Mebuyan’s Vessel, made from discarded materials, offering an interesting meditation between science-fiction and Bagobo mythology while simultaneously raising the issue of sustainability and the climate.

Leeroy shared his rationale behind using discarded, recycled materials behind his masterpieces as he sees art as a tool in opening the discussion of sustainability and the state of the environment. 

“Art can be one of the many ways we can address the issue. Art doesn’t necessarily have to represent the problem but it can be a proposal for the solution. Instead of using new materials, I challenged myself to strictly focus on making my works using surplus materials,” New explained.

Leeroy commended Samsung’s efforts of sustainability with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, underlining how companies can have a big impact in combating climate change.

“I’m in support of big companies who can make a change and move towards a greener and sustainable way of production. Awareness is key. Taking into consideration the effects of mass production on the environment, I’m just happy to support these companies that are becoming more mindful of how they source materials, how they produce things, and their carbon footprint. It’s a slow process but the first step is becoming aware of it and moving towards [sustainability].”

Aside from Leeroy’s installation, Samsung’s epic sustainability room also encouraged guests to make a promise towards creating a greener planet at the Pledge Wall, a digital display where guests can use the S-Pen to write pledges on the wall in real time. Guests were invited to make their own commitments on sustainability by asking them “What can you do for the planet?”

Samsung has emphasized their mission to contribute to global sustainability efforts with the release of the Galaxy S23 Series to meet the urgency of the global climate crisis. Designed with the planet in mind, parts of the Galaxy S23 Series are made of recycled materials. For instance, the front case and back glass of the smartphones are made with 80% recycled PET bottles, 20% recycled, ocean-bound plastic, and 22% recycled glass for its screen. It is also the first Galaxy flagship device to integrate recycled aluminum, used in the side key, volume keys, and SIM tray of the phone. The packaging of the new series is also made with 100% recycled paper.

The Galaxy S23 currently retails for PHP 53,990 for the 128GB variant, and PHP 57,990 for the 256GB variant.
