My 18th
No false advertising, I am excited to celebrate the launch of my 18th book!
Come join me on May 3, 2019 (Friday), 6 PM at National Book Store, Shangri-La Plaza Mall. It will also be the post celebration of my April 22 birthday.

“The Mavericks: How 35 Marketing Rockstars Think, Strategize and Execute” has been on my mind for over a year now. I wanted to curate and feature my interviews with some of the best marketers and young entrepreneurs in the Philippines, following the success of “The Rainmakers: Marketing and Strategy Lessons from 25 CEOs”, which remained at the nationwide bestsellers list of National Book Store for close to a year.

Some of the marketers featured will be with me during launch day. They will give marketing tips at 6pm and co-sign your books.


Can you help celebrate with me? Bring your entire marketing team to learn from my marketing friends.
Celebration + Networking + Food + Marketing Tips + Book Signing
