Profile
With roots in the Philippines, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Advertising Arts, my career began with roles in TV production and creative content design. Over the years, I’ve transitioned to Canada, and now serve as the Marketing Manager for The Aquino Group, overseeing the marketing for Kia North Bay, Volkswagen North Bay, Northern Ford, and North Bay Cycle & Sports. My experience in the automotive industry has allowed me to manage multi-brand campaigns, balancing creativity with results-driven strategies.
I’m skilled in video production, content creation, and digital marketing, using tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Sony Mirrorless systems, and DJI audio gear to produce high-quality material. I also embrace the future of marketing by leveraging AI technologies, including ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Adobe Firefly, to create engaging and innovative content. My goal is to continuously evolve in the ever-changing world of marketing, while delivering creative solutions that drive brand growth and customer engagement.
