BENEDICT ISLES

I’m Benedict Isles, I am a seasoned growth hacker, SEO & digital marketing consultant in the Philippines and a rising entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in tech. I have an extensive track record of helping companies from various domains launch, manage, and optimize their digital channels to drive user growth, sales conversion and ultimately, business profitability.

I’m also the Founder of Venuespring, the leading venue booking platform for all types of event spaces for rent in the Philippines. Our goal is to simplify the venue search and booking process and put hotel groups, restaurant and café chains, and property developers into one platform. Think of it like Agoda or Booking.com but for event spaces for short term rent.

Prior to going full-time on this venture, my most recent role involved leading the digital acquisition for loans at Tonik, the pioneering digital-only neobank in SEA. Responsibilities included streamlining customer acquisition costs, overseeing user acquisition budgets, tracking customer touchpoints, and taking charge of the loans funnel of the business. Notably, I crafted and executed effective sales campaign plans, managed budgets, and consistently achieved target KPIs on CAC and sales volume. Prior to this, I spent some years in fintech consumer lending companies taking on P&L responsibilities for online cash loans and built new sales channels achieving profitability targets.

I began my career as a writer and content specialist back in 2011, then I discovered my passion for the Internet as a powerful marketing channel. My expertise now spans various domains in digital marketing such as SEO and website development, which I’ve applied in consultancy roles for several companies for many years. And always evolving, I stay ahead in business development, marketing automation, data analytics, and my perennial passion, SEO.

Here, you’ll find my musings, adventures, and creations—a mix of the real and the dreamt. So, whether you’re a fellow explorer or a newfound friend, welcome to my universe.
