Creative Director @ Ace Saatchi & Saatchi Manila

Patrick Michael Balo has selling dreams and hopes alongside milk, phones, medicine, and food for the last 16 years. Before that, he spent time writing and directing events that were veritable case studies in organized chaos and even dabbled in the TV and film industries as the “guy-who-got-things-done”.
