About me.

I've always been fascinated with technology. When I was a kid I tried to study just about every system file in our old Windows 95 PC just to understand what each file does. I still carry this innate skill in problem-solving in my work today as a digital marketer.

I get my "flow" when I work with ideas.  People who know me personally might describe me as someone who always comes up with ideas. Sometimes funny. Often crazy. At times smart.

Creating, challenging, and refining ideas lets me appreciate the data behind the process. There's is delight in discovering patterns in the data to inspire solutions for my team and clients. Especially with marketing data, as it's a reflection of human insights.

Skills and Competencies.

Full Funnel Digital Marketing

There are several tried and tested strategies that I use in full funnel digital marketing campaigns including ad remarketing and custom audience generation. These are often deployed in conversion campaigns on social media platforms and on Google search as SEM.

I look at digital marketing campaigns not as a siloed set of tasks, but as an integral part of successful business. My approach is to see through the business' core challenges and what could be the role of digital in bringing a real and tangible impact to the bottom line.

E-commerce Sales Strategy

I've had the opportunity to work on several e-commerce retail brands in these categories: fashion & apparel, home & living, tech accessories, and wearables.  Aside from the quantitative part of marketing for e-commerce brands, I have a strong sense of what type of content would work for a particular audience. In 2021, me and my team won Gold for Excellence in Influencer Marketing* for Garmin Philippines as a strong testament to our expertise in the field.

Leadership and Managment

Co-founding, managing, and growing a startup agency in the Philippines was a culmination of my leadership experience. My leadership style sits somewhere between visionary / collaborative / participative. I pay close attention to excellent team communication. I believe that great ideas flourish when communicated very clearly and this ultimately is reflected in the output that our clients and customers see.
