Hi, I'm Irving.
I tell stories, in press releases, through a camera lens, and occasionally over a guitar amp.

15 years leading PR and marketing for brands like Apple, Nintendo, PlayStation and Uber, with a parallel life in photography, video and (too much) guitar gear.

Stuff I did

PR campaigns, a documentary series, and a couple of things that have nothing to do with marketing at all.

About me

The short version

I've spent 15 years in PR and marketing, but I started out as a journalist, and that's still how I think of myself. I ran the newsroom at Atomix.vg early on, then moved into PR, working with brands like Apple, Nintendo, PlayStation, HUAWEI and Uber across Latin America. These days I lead the consumer tech team at Axicom.

Outside of work I do a lot of the same stuff, just for fun: I take photos, shoot video, and play guitar (I own way too many pedals). Sometimes those things overlap, like the time I ended up playing guitar on camera for a phone test video.
