Creative Manila: Inspiring an Inspired Community

Building a Creative Hub for Filipino Artists and Designers

Started as a Facebook Fan Page back in 2010, Creative Manila has grown into the Philippines' award-winning inspiration network. Founded by John Vincent Redrico, this online platform serves as a creative hub for professionals, students, and enthusiasts in various creative fields.

Driven by the belief in the power of inspiration, Creative Manila aims to showcase and appreciate the creative work of Filipino artists and designers. The platform provides a stage for these talented individuals to share their works and connect with a global audience.

What sets Creative Manila apart is its commitment to fostering a community of great minds. The platform encourages playful conceptualization and transcends the influence of daily inspiration. With a vast selection of carefully curated works, Creative Manila offers opportunities for ideas that deserve to be called "masterpieces."

As an online platform for creativity in all its forms, Creative Manila covers a wide range of mediums, including advertising, photography, graphic design, web design, illustrations, and videos. The website's responsive design ensures that it can be accessed and enjoyed on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Since its launch in 2012, Creative Manila has become a go-to resource for creative professionals, students, and enthusiasts. The platform actively seeks out Filipino creative talents, both online and offline, to feature on the website. These featured works are then shared across various social media outlets and other media networks, providing extra exposure for the artists.

Redesigned and relaunched in 2014, Creative Manila now boasts a sleek and magazine-like look that appeals to its strong mobile traffic. The website's user-friendly interface and visually appealing design make it a pleasure to navigate and explore.

Recognized for its excellence, Creative Manila was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2015. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, technical skill, and resourcefulness. Creative Manila's commitment to showcasing and inspiring an inspired community has made it a valuable resource for Filipino artists and designers.

With its mission to inspire and connect creative minds, Creative Manila continues to be a driving force in the Philippine creative scene. Through its online platform, it provides a space for artists and designers to showcase their work, find inspiration, and seize opportunities. Creative Manila truly embodies the quote by Albert Einstein: "Creativity is contagious, pass it on."
