Thinking of growing a team of creatives in the Philippines? Below we share some helpful information and things we have learned along the way! Be sure to check out the team profile for one of our awesome & amazing Digital Designers (at the end of the article).
The creative industry is considered one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Philippines and is estimated to employ hundreds of thousands of people. As a result, the Philippines is known and recognised for its strong talent pool in digital design, animation, video production, and software development. Many Australian agencies and businesses have recognized the value of tapping into this talent pool, and the demand for Filipino creatives continues to grow.
Filipino creatives are typically well-educated and highly skilled, with most holding degrees or certifications in their respective fields. They are also known for their adaptability and willingness to learn new skills and technologies, which allows them to stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices.

Quality of work: The Philippines is known for its highly skilled workforce, particularly in creative fields such as graphic design, animation, and video production. Filipino creatives are known for their attention to detail, their ability to work under pressure, and their commitment to producing high-quality work.
Cultural fit: The Philippines has a culture that is similar in many ways to Western cultures, particularly in terms of work ethic and business practices. This means that Filipino creatives are often more attuned to the needs and expectations of Western clients than creatives from other countries.
Language: The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world, with English being the primary language of business, education, and government. This means that communication between clients and Filipino creatives is typically very smooth, and there are few language barriers to overcome.
Time zone compatibility: The Philippines is in a time zone that is well-suited to working with clients in Western countries. This means that Filipino creatives can work during the day while their clients are awake, which can facilitate communication and collaboration.
