Own the system that grows your business.
I am Ken, the founder of GroundUp, based in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu.
Before GroundUp I was a freelance marketer. My ads helped clients earn over ₱4 million in sales. I do award-winning video work, and I train in-house marketing teams, organizations, and students on how to run it themselves.
I built GroundUp to teach owners to market themselves, because no one sells a business like the person who runs it.
The mission: every local business should own the system that grows it. Good marketing should not be something only big companies can afford.
