smile! i'm jereek

I make work rooted in culture and internet antics that gets people talking.

Back in March 2018, I joined Petch & Partners as its very first and only full-time Art Director back home in Manila. We started with zero clients, no safety net, and pure creative grit. Over the next three years, our small powerhouse team spent its time regularly out-pitching agency giants 10x our size to win major brands like Hilton, Krispy Kreme, Dole, and Nestlé. That hustle turned a scrappy indie shop into one of the most awarded agencies in Australasia.

Then in 2022, I packed my luggage for BBH Singapore, where I've had some surreal personal wins: being named one of Cannes Lions' 30 Under 30, joining the Creative LIAisons program, and creating my most celebrated work to date, sitting at 25+ metals and counting across global and regional shows.

Off the clock, you'll find me watching Steph Curry do magic on the court, logging Nolan movies on Letterboxd, or hopping on an Airbus A321 that my brother happens to fly, to travel with zero itinerary.
