New Design and Web Teams to Supplement Suite of Services
(Manila, Philippines – July 29, 2009) — TeamAsia announced that it has created two new teams in response to market demand and to further strengthen its service offerings. The two teams, Design and Web Development, were previously part of the agency’s creative department.
TeamAsia is an award-winning strategic marketing communications firm offering design services; public relations, editorial and SEO services; event management; online campaign management; and web programming.
John Gonzalez was appointed Creative Director and is responsible for the direction and development of the Design team, including business development initiatives, creative direction, and client management. Gonzalez was previously an Art Director with TeamAsia and has contributed to award-winning design projects for the agency for three years.
“I am honored to have been recognized for my commitment to the company,” Gonzalez said. “I hope to live up to the quality and creative standards that we have achieved previously and to break new barriers in design. I am excited to grow with the company and work with a team that has always delivered innovative and impactful results for our clients.”
Prior to joining TeamAsia, Gonzalez was an Art Director for several agencies, handling local and international clients from the IT and consumer industries. He has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Santo Tomas, and has won numerous awards, including third place at the painting competition for the 1995 World Youth Day. He was also part of the former TeamAsia Creatives team that won the Gold Quill Award for Excellence in 2008 for the Microsoft Dynamics testimonial campaign.

He has led projects ranging from the company’s own website to extensive corporate projects for such high-profile clients as Outsource2Philippines, ExcelAsia, and the Credit Card Association of the Philippines. Enriquez is responsible for leading the Web Development team, whose responsibilities include web content and database management, programming and debugging, and project management.
Enriquez’s five years with the team has provided the opportunity to observe the growth of the industry and developments in technology and the web. One of his objectives is to leverage evolving technologies and solutions to support continual enhancement of TeamAsia’s communication and visibility services.
“I am proud of what I have accomplished so far with TeamAsia and I look forward to continuing to successfully manage development projects and working with other departments and our fast-growing roster of clients. I want to see the team grow, as I have grown here with the company. There are exciting developments in Web development and I fully intend to take advantage of them,” Enriquez said.
“We believe in growing the company from within and acknowledging and recognizing talent. We created the new Design and Web Development teams to further strengthen our position as a leading full-service agency, and we are confident that John and Jeff will lead their teams to new levels of award-winning success,” said founder and president Monette Iturralde-Hamlin.
