CREATEPhilippines: Promoting the Philippine Creative Industries

CREATELab

CREATELab is an initiative of CREATEPhilippines to promote the value of design in achieving business goals. It envisions building a sustainable relationship between creatives and businesses. Set as an on-site design clinic within the two signature events of CITEM, IFEX Philippines and Manila FAME, this project will provide micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with expert guidance to enhance their branding and marketing strategies.

In partnership with the Communication Design Association of the Philippines (CDAP), CREATELab brings together qualified professionals from the communication design sector. These experts offer free initial consultations on logo design, web design, marketing collateral, social media strategy, product branding, and other value-adding relevant tools to companies to elevate their businesses. Through these consultation sessions, MSMEs will receive valuable mentorship to refine their marketing assets and branding practices.

CREATELab’s first edition is set to happen during IFEX Phillippines!

IFEX Philippines is the country’s biggest business-to-business and export-oriented international trade show for food, beverage, and ingredients. Now in its 18th edition, it is the longest-running food-sourcing show in the Philippines, where the biggest and most trusted brands converge.

Participating IFEX Philippines exhibitors interested in availing of CREATELab’s free design consultations can book their sessions now!

Sessions will be booked during the IFEX Philippines event on May 22-24 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, Pasay City.
