Summary

From the Open Seas to the Digital World

Hey there! I’m Brian Bacong, a 32-year-old based in Davao City. Excited to meet you and share what I’ve put together. I can’t wait to dive into our Launch Day Meeting!

From the Open Seas to the Digital World

I spent 10 years as a seafarer, where I honed my discipline, problem-solving skills, and ability to work efficiently under pressure. Managing time-sensitive tasks, handling complex logistics, and adapting to fast-paced environments were all part of my daily routine. Now, I’m transitioning into the digital world, bringing these invaluable skills to your business as a Digital Marketing Assistant.

Family First

As a husband and dad, I understand the importance of balancing work and life. Parenthood has sharpened my time management skills, ensuring that I complete tasks efficiently while maintaining a structured workflow.

Tech-Savvy and AI-Driven

I’ve always been passionate about technology, and my background as a gamer has refined my problem-solving abilities and adaptability. My experience with AI tools allows me to streamline tasks, enhance productivity, and drive efficiency in digital marketing efforts.

My Expertise & Training
Digital Marketing & Business Growth

Through my training at Outsourced Doers, I have gained extensive knowledge in:

Digital Marketing – Mastering the Four Pillars of Digital Marketing to craft strong marketing strategies.


Marketing Design – Creating engaging lead magnets, worksheets, and social media visuals.


Marketing Funnels – Building high-converting sales funnels, including low-ticket funnels with upsells.


Email Marketing – Writing persuasive email sequences that drive engagement and action.


Social Media Management – Automating posts, conducting competitor research, designing content, scheduling, and community engagement.


Admin Support – Managing calendars, appointments, forms, SOP creation, and inbox management.

Bridging Seafaring Experience with Digital Expertise

My time at sea required precision, adaptability, and teamwork—qualities that directly translate into my digital marketing career:

Goal-Oriented & Strategic Thinking – Navigating ships safely and efficiently is similar to navigating marketing strategies. Both require careful planning, attention to detail, and swift problem-solving.


Efficient & Organized – Managing ship operations involved handling various documents, ensuring compliance, and meeting deadlines—skills that are essential in digital marketing and administrative support.


Tech-Savvy & Problem-Solving – Diagnosing malfunctions and maintaining deck equipment sharpened my ability to troubleshoot and implement solutions effectively—whether it’s fixing a ship’s system or optimizing a digital campaign.


Adaptability & Multitasking – Working under different nationalities (Filipino, Danish, Indian, and Sri Lankan) onboard bulk carriers, oil chemical tankers, and general cargo vessels required strong communication and flexibility. These same skills help me collaborate with diverse teams and adapt to evolving business needs.
