Strategy, design, and brand-building insights from the Huna Creatives team — written to help you grow a brand that actually means something.
DIY, Fiverr, 99designs, a freelancer, or a studio: what each one costs in 2026, what you actually get for the money, and how to compare quotes that look nothing alike.
For companies outside the Philippines: what a remote Filipino designer costs, what a studio costs, and the part nobody prices in — who manages the work.
A ₱25,000 designer does not cost ₱25,000. Here is the full monthly cost of a hire in 2026 — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, 13th month — next to what a studio retainer costs.
Spreadsheets work until they don’t. The Philippine payroll rules a small team has to get right in 2026, where Excel breaks, and what the alternatives cost.
A theme gets you selling this week. A custom build gets you a store that looks like nobody else’s. What each costs in 2026, and how to tell which one you need.
A Pilates and yoga studio needs a website that feels calm and a schedule that actually works. Asana Ormoc got both from one build — a public site, a trial-booking flow, and a private hub the studio runs the day from.
Most studios need a portfolio site. FS Architects needed that plus somewhere to run the practice — payroll, leave, appraisals and project operations — and a way for staff to reach it from a phone. Three builds, one system.
Selling a material is harder than selling a product. Hulma Cebu fabricates architectural fiberglass for commercial, hospitality and residential projects — and needed a site that could convince an architect it belongs in their spec.
A new matcha brand with no existing equity, in a category where every competitor reaches for the same green leaf. How we built Whisk Up Matcha around a monstera silhouette and a palette drawn entirely from the landscape of the plant.
Uji-Matcha Café built its following in Baguio, then opened in Makati. A brand crossing cities puts pressure on a logo that a single location never does — here is how we refined the mark without erasing what its regulars already recognised.
A Viber group and a JPEG cannot answer questions at 11pm the night before. Here is how digital invitations work for Cebu weddings and milestone birthdays — what belongs on the page, what RSVP tracking actually saves you, and what we built for real Cebu events.
We built a 30th birthday invitation around pickleball — one paddle, one court, one button. Here is why committing hard to a single theme outperforms the elegant, generic invitation almost every time, and how that applies to events anywhere in the Philippines.
From a blank canvas to laser-cut wood signage, tasting cards, bean bags, and a complete visual system — how Huna Creatives built the brand identity for Peak Coffee Roasters, one of Cebu City's most ambitious specialty coffee concepts.
The resale and consignment market is growing fast in Cebu. The Second Haus needed a brand that felt as premium as the pieces it carries — curated, warm, and built to earn trust from style-conscious buyers from day one.
The biggest fear when outsourcing content is losing the voice that makes your brand feel like yours. Here is how to hand off content creation to a Filipino agency and get back work that sounds exactly like you — only better.
Your brand is being formed whether you are intentional about it or not. Every pitch deck, every social post, every client email is shaping how people perceive your startup. Here is how to take control of that perception from day one.
The playbook that worked in 2023 is obsolete. Filipino consumers are more sophisticated, algorithms have changed, and the brands growing on social media in 2026 are doing something fundamentally different. Here is what it is.
Most HR tools were built for corporations. Sentro OS was built for creative agencies — attendance via Slack, one-click payroll, client project tracking, and contracts, all in one system designed specifically for how Philippine agencies actually work.
