Yooooo! I'm Jasper, an art-based Associate Creative Director at GIGIL who loves to write and spends way too much time figuring out how to turn ideas into memes.

 

I kickstarted my advertising career through training programs with top-tier agencies such as Ogilvy Philippines, Dentsu Jayme Syfu, and TBWA\Santiago Mangada Puno. This paved the way for my initial role as an Art Director at J. Walter Thompson (now Wunderman Thompson) and BBDO Guerrero. I also made a brief stint with Droga5, TBWA\Chiat\Day, and 72andSunny creatives before finally moving to Gigil Philippines - the #1 creative agency in Asia Pacific.

​

In 2018, I was chosen as the Philippine representative in Spikes Asia's Young Creative Program. In 2021, I was handpicked by The One Club for their We Are One Campaign, and was also chosen as the country representative for Creative LIAison at the London International Awards, where I received mentorship from esteemed global industry leaders, namely Eugene Cheong, Ronald Ng, and Merlee Jayme. In 2024, my work made it to the Top 4 of The Brief #4 by Cannes Lions. In 2025, I was ranked as the #1 Art Director globally & #1 overall creative in the Philippines by Best Ads of Campaign brief. Presently, I am apprenticed to Simon Vicars, and Eugene Cheong.

Beyond Advertising, I'm into running, fitness, and tennis. I also love to perform as former theater kid. I used to snap photos and once dreamt of becoming a fashion photographer until advertising happened. Lastly, I spend most of my free time at the beach or our farm

to unwind.
