Hey there! I’m Lance.
I was born and raised in the rough and tough streets of Manila, and now continuing to grow in the hustle and bustle streets of Shanghai. I love problem solving that‘s why after 7 years of top agency experience, I went brand side with the design + innovation team of PepsiCo, working with some of the most talented designers in the world to create consumer-centric solutions through purposeful design.
I love thinking of ideas as much as I love the craft and details in advertising and design. So far in my career, I’ve convinced people to travel G-Class instead of business-class; alarmed people the urgency of global warming by using only stock photos; got people to talk about sex in one of the most conservative countries in the world; and even created a new media when the government screwed up.
In 2017, I made three 6s ads, won against 100+ entries across the globe, and was chosen by Google to represent them globally for the Cannes Young Lions Film competition. And in 2019, I was able to sip some rosé again as my partner and I represented the Philippines for the Cannes Young Lions Digital competition. We won bronze (top 3 in the world) - besting over 47 of the top tier young creative teams around the world.
Outside the office, I’m probably playing badminton, going on photo walks, people-watching, binge watching anime and tv shows, and hopefully adding more stamps to my passport.
