Hey there, thanks for checking out this page.
Hi, I’m Carissa Coles. Though my surname sounds foreign but I’m definitely not. Or maybe, I am not just sure about it.

I’m also the Digital Head and Senior Project Lead of EmergeLocal, a digital marketing agency in the Philippines where we help businesses to reach more customers, increase their brand awareness and get more leads online.
I’ve worked with a number of local and international companies and have been enjoying it so far.

How I got into this stuff….
I first fell in love with eCommerce. I worked as a database specialist and a writer for an eCommerce company. After a few years, I decided to quit my job and work at home. I use what I’ve learned from my previous job and started getting clients online.
Fast forward, I’m now a Digital Marketing Head of an agency and has been helping diverse types of companies local and abroad.
More things about me:
1. Dreamed to have a spacious library. Books are investments.
2. Read a book about being an introvert. It’s confirmed.
3. A dog bit me when I was on my way to work. This led me being afraid of dog barking loudly.
4. Virgo is my zodiac sign.
5. I’m the eldest child and grew up giving justice to it.
6. I can spend my whole day watching my favorite TV series.
7. I’m an organizing junkie.
8. I want to learn how to swim.
9. I married my first boyfriend. He was my college sweetheart too.
10. I have an obsession with notebooks and pens.
I hope those “freakish” facts about me make you want to know me more and connect with me.
