Jason Velasquez Burayag

Born and raised in Dubai, Jason is a writer with 10 years of experience in the industry, playing every conceivable role from client-side marketer to agency-side writer and everything in between. Jason built most of his career in the BBDO network, starting in the creatively-acclaimed BBDO Guerrero Manila office before moving to Publicis JimenezBasic and finally flying back home to Dubai to join IMPACT BBDO.

In 2014, he represented the Philippines as a Young Lion at Cannes Lions. His work has also been recognized at Dubai Lynx, the Caples, Effies, MENA Digital Awards, Asia Pacific AdFest, Ad Stars, Kidlat Awards, Boomerang Awards, Tinta Awards, and on his mom’s refrigerator.

He’s most (in)famous for asking Morgan Freeman to make cat noises for a YouTube pre-roll ad, coming up with a campaign to sell a cardboard box, and embarrassing himself in front of a TV showrunner and a room full of writers. One of those things is a lie.
