Hi!
I'm Panda
Although my legal name is Christian Manrique, not even my mamita uses it, so please feel free to use it.
But seriously, hello hola dzien dobry. I am Panda: an aspiring game producer transitioning from the advertisement to the gamedev industry, with a background in transmedia storytelling, creative direction, education and business intelligence. That’s me in very adult terms.
For 20 years I’ve worked mainly as a Strategic Planner, Content Marketing Director, Senior Project Manager and university professor, leading cross-functional teams and turning insights into effective and amusing advertising campaigns across Latin America.
On one hand I am curious, insightful, data driven, empathetic leader – been told that a lot – with a strong business & marketing acumen – always wanted to use that word – that thrives in innovative and collaborative environments – damn! –. On the other hand, I’m also very honest and fair to the objective: what you see is what you get with me.
Contact me and take me for a spin.
Let’s see what we can do together.
