Did my longest ride from Cebu City to Mactan Island. Started at 7:30am and ended 2:12pm.
It was a very fulfilling and exhausting trip! Where to next?
Here’s the trip on Strava.

Say What?
As marketers and brands, we often think of the consumer as this intellectually-challenged lump of humanity but we’re writing to our own friends and family members. They’re people with names, they’re people with relationships and they deserve to be talked to and treated with respect.
Yes, you talk in the brand tone of voice but you have to remember who the end user is and talk to them in a way they would be familiar with, as a brand and also would want to, as a human being.
I Love You Sabado!
Still the best!!! #throwbackthursday

Green Kaku
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
As we all know, everyone gets drunk on this day. For me, I decided to stick to my roots on this Irish “holiday”. So we drank all the sake & ate all the Japanese BBQ at Gyu-Kaku!
Finished off with every single flavor of ice cream that they had – vanilla, coffee, green tea, blueberry cheesecake (recommend it!) & black sesame (don’t be intimidated. try it!).
Happy 46th BDay, Vans!

Livable Cebu // E01
Cebu, as we know it, is the 2nd largest metropolitan in the Philippines. It’s growing at a really fast pace. Because of this, more and more people move to Cebu and it’s become so traffic with the pursuit to move people around. All this is giving certain politicians ideas for more “ideal” projects even if there are more important issues to address.
This is our effort to show you how nice the city sidewalks have become in certain areas. Unfortunately, not many take time to notice it. As a brand rooted in the streets, we want to bring people back to streets and prefer an alternative mode of transport that is oil-free and fun – skateboarding.
Skate your city. It’s yours, too.
The passion for people – it’s what we connect for.

If You Don’t Understand People, You Don’t Understand Business
“We’re not good at everything, we’re not good by ourselves,” says Simon Sinek at the 99% Conference. Our ability to build trust and relationships is the key to our survival as a race, and to thriving as ideamakers.
Brand Strategy
A Brand
What is a brand? A brand is a person’s gut feeling about a product, service, or company. As human beings, we are all emotional and intuitive, despite our efforts to be rational. A brand is defined by individuals, not by companies, markets or the general public. Each person creates his or her own idea of it. Companies can’t control this process – they can influence it. How? By communicating the qualities that make this product different from that. When enough people arrive at the same gut feeling, then you have a brand.
To put it simply, a brand is not what you say it is. It’s what they say it is. It is a concept shared by society to identify a specific class of things.
Strategy + Creativity
On one side are the strategists who are left-brain thinkers – analytical, logical, linear, concrete, numerical, verbal. On the other side there are creatives who are right-brain thinkers – intuitive, emotional, spatial, visual, physical.
Our left & right brains independently do what they need to do. Whenever there’s a rift between strategy & creativity – logic & magic – there’s a brand gap. This can cause a great strategy to fail where it matters – at the point of contact with the customer or it can kill a really clever creative initiative before it’s even launched.
The gap between strategy & creativity can divide a company from its customers so much, that no significant communication passes between them. Companies spend so much on market research and waste it all because they can’t execute it creatively. It’s like watching a VHS film on your HDTV or a Blu-ray movie on an old black & white TV .
Knowing how to bridge this gap immediately gives you a great advantage over those who don’t. Brand communication is essential. When it comes through intact, it goes straight into people’s brains without distortion, noise, or the need to think too much about it. This instantly enables you to develop a rich relationship with your people.
Elevate your status by bridging the gap between business strategy & creativity.

Lyrics:
Yeah, I’m here and still getting it
More food more love, still getting it
Beggar time, rap at night
Best, still getting it, getting it
Sign on the best, still getting it
Yeah, I’m here and still getting it
10 years deep and the same, still getting it
Beggar five, rapping like, thanks still getting it
Damn it, sign like the best, still getting it
Going ahead full speed in the lane still getting it!
* Foreign Beggars ft. Skrillex – Still Gettin’ It
Skrillex Goes In For The Kill
We can fight our desires
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
And what are feelings without emotions?
I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
Oh I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand
I hang my hopes out on the line
Will they be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long
They’ll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?
I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
Oh I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand
Let’s go to war
To make peace
Let’s be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you’re not blinded by the light from me
I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
Oh I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand.

Word of Mouth #tweetit
Word-of-mouth marketing, which encompasses a variety of subcategories, including buzz, blog, viral, grassroots, brand advocates, cause influencers and social media marketing, as well as ambassador programs, work with consumer-generated media and more, can be highly valued by product, social media and performance marketers. Because of the personal nature of the communications between individuals, it is believed that product information communicated in this way has an added layer of credibility. Word-of-mouth depends on the extent of customer satisfaction with the product or service, and on the degree of its perceived value.
David Toyoshima - Executive Creative Director/Chief Creative Officer, IWGroupinc Advertising
As Ken’s professor, Ken demonstrated the needed skills for success. His work was smart, clever and well executed. I would highly recommend Ken.
Bil O'Neill - Creative Director, Geared Advertising
Ken is sharp, focused, attentive, hard working, talented – and an all-round nice guy. It was a pleasure having him in my class.
Michael Hanson - Graphic Design Instructor, Art Institute of California - Orange County
Ken is a talented go-getter who lives and breathes design. His work is polished for someone his age and his intensity will serve him well in his future.
Scott Essman - Interactive Media Design Instructor, Art Institute of California - Orange County
Ken was an excellent reliable student with many multimedia skills – he would be an asset to any company who chooses to hire him!
Joey Lopez - President, AIGA AiOC Chapter

Chris Liao - Advertising Student, Art Institute of California - Orange County
Ken is built upon a foundation of diligence and definitely one of the sharpest pencils in the room during my time studying with him. You just know it when you’re working with someone that is destined to become great at his craft. I would highly recommend Ken based on his design instinct alone, not even going into how clever his work often turns out to be.
Justin Lancaster - Graphic Designer, Studio 1126
Ken’s work demonstrates an understanding and expertise in both concept and design. His style is fresh and contemporary.
It is a powerful promotional tool and should be considered as part of a business marketing strategy. Today, it’s called tweeting.

Starbucks: Fresh Identity
I like it. Less is more! What do you think of the new logo?
According to a statement put out by company CEO Howard Schultz, the reason for the redesign has to do with diversification. Essentially, by stripping away any mention of coffee, tea, or anything else from its logo, Starbucks can more freely start selling other stuff.

Trends + Creativity
INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.
The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.
Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today’s pop culture.
“Influencers” belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.
