UNDISCOVERED SF
Role: Marketing Manager
Goal: UNDISCOVERED SF is a non-profit venture designed to jump-start economic activity and public awareness of SOMA Pilipinas. We envision incubating a batch of innovative retail concepts, award-winning restaurants, and neighborhood serving businesses that are culturally relevant, financially resilient, and adaptable to the market needs of all San Franciscans.
I have led the UNDISCOVERED SF Marketing Team since 2022, overseeing social media, email, long-form blog content, and web communications.
Inviting People To The Party
I have led the successful execution of UNDISCOVERED SF’s event marketing since 2022. With four festivals under my belt so far, my role as Marketing Manager focuses on team coordination, creative content production, email marketing, and collaboration with stakeholders. This initiative stands as a testament to my leadership in orchestrating a team, crafting compelling content, and executing strategic marketing efforts that brought together a diverse community in celebration of creativity and cultural expression.
