What I'm looking for
I've led creative, content, and marketing strategy for Rustans.com, Vintage Grail, Joel's Place, Manila Bulletin, Havas Ortega, Bonsey Jaden, and FCB Manila. I turn customer insight into campaign ideas, content ecosystems, and brand stories built around how people think, feel, and buy.
At Rustans.com, I helped launch and scale a luxury and premium multi-category e-commerce platform, led its 2023 website transformation, and built the Direct-to-Offer campaign framework. I also created and commercialized Brand Collab, delivering 47 retail media campaigns with up to 45% of participating brands' monthly sales.
My work has scaled daily e-commerce revenue to ₱1.2M, grown qualified leads by 120%, increased campaign engagement by 43%, and improved organic search visibility by 23%. I've led multidisciplinary teams of up to 15 people and connect creative direction, SEO, CRM, paid media, UX, and conversion optimization around commercial goals.
My foundation in media, publishing, advertising, retail, e-commerce, and F&B gives me an editorial perspective grounded in audience psychology and measurable marketing performance.
