Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are facing uncertainties dealing with the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Although some are able to continue their operations, others are having a difficult time to get by.

While the new normal is digital, not everyone is equipped with the right knowledge and tools to embrace the change.

This is why UnionBank GlobalLinker, in partnership with Growth Nest, has established Project Big Brother which aims to guide and help MSMEs navigate the new normal by leaning into digital strategies and tools.

Growth Nest is a digital platform focused on educating SMEs, entrepreneurs, and marketers to thrive, and is founded by a digital marketing expert, Francisco Maldonado, who has a successful digital marketing career for two decades. He has worked with international brands and Fortune 500 companies and has been part of some of the largest social advocacy campaigns across the globe.

“Together in this partnership, we are bringing proven methods and a growth mindset to businesses so they can pivot into success,” Maldonado shares.
