About
We are Project Mayon—a group of ad agency veterans looking to utilize our professional skill sets outside of the office to make a positive impact on the world and communities around us.
We each specialize in different marketing disciplines and bring a unique set of experiences to the table. Collectively, we have decades of experience working at top NYC advertising and media agencies, including Droga5, Johannes Leonardo, Carat, Argonaut, Beautiful Destinations, and TBWA\Chiat\Day.
As strategic, creative, and media professionals, we spend a lot of time helping huge corporations achieve their business goals. Our clients include Google, Microsoft, Brand USA, Visit Panama, Cricket Wireless, and Volkswagen. It’s exciting work, but we also see the opportunity to use these same skills to better our local communities.
This is what Project Mayon is all about.
A way for us to give back. A way to help small nonprofits reach their full potential. A way to make the world a little bit better.
The story of “Mayon”
Our founder, Adam, was traveling through Asia when he came across Mount Mayon, a stratovolcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. He was freelancing at the time for several clients, including a small environmental nonprofit. An idea came to him as he approached the towering volcano — what if there was a way marketing professionals could use their skill sets to give back? How could we harness the power of our collective expertise to make a bigger impact than we could as individual volunteers?
This thought ultimately grew into Project Mayon. The volcano that inspired it all serves as a metaphor for the untapped potential of resource-strained small nonprofits. We hope that we can help unlock that potential so that these amazing organizations can make an even bigger impact in their communities.
