As we countdown to WordCamp Asia 2024, each week we’re inviting you to go behind the lineup and get to know the folks who will be taking to the stage. In today’s post, we chat with Gerlynnia Aprille Galgo, a brand strategist, content creator for designers, and digital marketer. She is also the founder of GO Creatives, an independent creative studio that specializes in Branding, Brand Experiences, and Digital Marketing
Q. Firstly, welcome to the lineup! We’re so glad to have you here. Can you start by telling us a bit about yourself? Where will you be joining the event from, and what does your day-to-day look like?
My name is Gerlynnia Galgo, a Brand Strategist and Designer from the Philippines. I have been assisting Food and Beauty Businesses in thriving within the digital space through Branding and Creative Ads. On the flip side, I am also a Visual Artist and a multi-passionate individual juggling various hobbies. For the majority of my day, I dedicate my time to my freelancing business, play with my dogs, and occasionally, when preparing for an upcoming exhibit, I focus on creating artworks.
Q. We’re lucky to be welcoming a diverse range of speakers to our program in 2024. What interested you to apply to WordCamp Asia as a speaker?
It has always been a dream to speak internationally. In addition to that, I had a good experience speaking at a local WordCamp last year, where I made friends and connections. Moreover, I want to expand my knowledge and be exposed to an environment where I can learn from people with expertise ranging from tech to marketing.
Q. What can audiences expect to learn from your talk/s? Are there any advance sneak peeks or knowledge bombs you can offer us?
Oooh! I am going to talk about Personal Branding in the AI Era and share tips on how you can work on your personal brand as well.
Q. What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Asia 2024? Is there someone you’re looking forward to rubbing shoulder with, or a local delicacy you’d like to sample?
I am actually a novice in this industry, so I am looking forward to rubbing shoulders with all the speakers and representing the Philippines. As for local delicacies, it would be nice to try Taiwan’s Boba and the famous Pounded Chicken!
Q. Tell us something about yourself that we might not know. Party tricks? Secret hobbies?
Secret hobbies? I am trying to complete 366 days of running, as of writing this, I am on Day 16 haha
