Herbert co-founded the ideas agency GIGIL. Only 5 years old, GIGIL has already been declared by Campaign AOY as Philippines Independent Agency of the Year, and Philippines Creative Agency of the Year--a major feat, as it's the first time in the show's history that an indie agency conquered the country’s creative agency of the year category, a battleground traditionally dominated by multinationals. More importantly, GIGIL won a gold in the APAC Effies in 2020, effectively making it the Philippines' most effective creative agency, and the most effective independent agency in Asia. Herbert has been named by regional publication Campaign to its list of '40 Under 40,' celebrating his achievements as an up-and-coming leader in marketing, media, and communications in the whole Asia Pacific. He has also been included by Adweek in its list of ‘Creative 100,’ an annual celebration of the world’s most fascinating creative professionals, icons, and game changers.
