I'm so excited to share a big update — I recently joined a fresh new creator community here in the Queen City of the South called Cebu Creators Circle, and it’s already proving to be such a gem for local content creators like myself.

Our first event together? A knowledge-packed session called “What Brands Want”, held at the beautiful Marina Seaview Restaurant in Mactan — the perfect mix of seaside charm and creative energy. It was held at the dreamy Glass House of Marina Seaview Restaurant in Mactan — and let me tell you, it was equal parts inspiring and indulgent!

The Glass House Vibe

Nestled right by the sea, the Marina Seaview Glass House gave us a calm, coastal atmosphere that perfectly balanced learning and leisure. Imagine soaking in insights from top minds in marketing while sipping cocktails with a view of the ocean — yes, it was that magical. 

We were treated to a spread of fresh seafood, crispy nachos, and flavorful cocktail drinks that kept the conversations flowing (and the creative juices too!). It wasn’t just an event — it was an experience.

A Deep Dive into 2025 Brand Mindsets

The event was made possible in partnership with RGC (Republiq Group of Companies), and the discussion focused on something every creator wants to master: understanding how agencies and clients think in 2025.

From brand alignment to long-term collaborations, the session was packed with actionable tips on how we, as creators, can better serve the brands we work with — and in turn, grow more sustainably and professionally.

Key Takeaways from “What Brands Want”

Authenticity Over Aesthetics – Brands are shifting from “pretty feeds” to real connection. If your content speaks to your community, you’re already winning.

Metrics That Matter – Agencies are paying attention to your impact, not just impressions. Saves, shares, and conversations = gold.

Professionalism Wins – In 2025, the creators who stand out are the ones who show up professionally — clear briefs, smooth communication, timely delivery.

Niche Is Power – Whether you're into beauty, tech, parenting, or wellness, brands love creators who know and own their niche.

Why I’m Proud to Be a Cebu Creator

There’s something special about being part of a movement that uplifts local creatives. Cebu Creators Circle is more than a community — it’s a circle of support, learning, and collaboration. Being surrounded by driven, like-minded individuals reminds me why I started creating in the first place: to connect, inspire, and grow.

Between the rich insights, good food, and coastal breeze, the event was a full-circle moment for me — and I can’t wait for more.

xoxo, Grace 🌸
