Profile bio
About Michael John Balana
Always hungry... mostly for fried chicken.-Fresh out of college, I initially worked on below-the-line projects for top automotive brands like Ford, Mazda, and Suzuki. I also took on projects and managed events for multinational companies like Ayala Land and Google Philippines. In 2018, an opportunity opened up and I transferred to GIGIL, an ideas agency, where I kicked off my advertising career as an Account Manager and eventually got promoted to Account Supervisor a year after. In just two years in the industry, I have already handled over 30 different brands like Cobra, Unioil, 7-Eleven CLiQQ, Allianz PNB Life, Netflix, Safeguard, and CDO. I also helped the agency receive recognitions from local and international shows like PANATA Awards, CLIO Awards, and APAC Effie Awards for our work for Levi’s Philippines among others. I’m currently a Group Account Director at GIGIL where I lead accounts teams for creative and total business development not just in Manila but also in our New York and Los Angeles offices. Also, I find opportunities to go beyond accounts work to fully utilize my background in fine arts and experiences in digital and below-the-line. This is fulfilled by the creative projects I take as an independent talent and as a Digital Consultant for First Light Studios Film Production.
Listed skills include Leadership, Customer Service, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and 9 others.
