About Chris Salonga

Career Summary:

Chris started out in Singapore's agency scene, where a background in IT became something more practical: he designed and coded apps and websites that he would later produce at scale. That mix of technical and creative has defined his work since. He can build what he plans, not just hand it off. His career has covered advertising and branding, startups, tech, and healthcare across APAC, the Middle East, and Africa. Along the way he has led teams across time zones and cultures, building products and running large-scale rollouts and integrated campaigns. He has worked with some of the world's top brands, on campaigns that won at Cannes Lions and D&AD.

Approach:

Chris works like a builder. He starts with the commercial goal and designs the marketing and digital infrastructure to serve it. He uses AI-assisted workflows to produce at a pace that usually needs a full team, and he measures what he makes rather than guessing at it.

Fun Facts:

One of his earlier campaigns ended up in the permanent collection of a Singapore design museum.

Why Aventus?

Aventus takes brand as seriously as it takes search, which is rare for a specialist firm. For Chris, that means real ownership and a team that works hard and puts people first. It is the kind of ambitious place that suits someone who likes to build.
