About Ann

I am Ann Kristine. Here’s why you should work with me.

In 2012, I had my first client in UpWork.

My task was to populate her business’ Facebook™ Page, LinkedIn™, and Twitter™ with content. I loved sharing informative content for my client. It was during this gig that I realized that I would like to become a social media manager for entrepreneurs and experts.

Today, I am a Facebook™ Marketing Strategist who has managed and grew Facebook™ Pages of top brands in shopping malls, boutique hotel, retail, and dairy, as well as authors and experts in debt collection, food, health, and education. I am also a podcaster, published author, and a mastermind mentor.

Why Did I Focus On Facebook™?

In 2017, with the help of a branding mentor, I decided that I could not (and would not be able to) keep up with the algorithms of each social media platform. Besides, the majority of my clients trusted me to manage Facebook™ Pages. The opportunity to manage Facebook™ Pages allowed me to have mastery of the platform.

But I was getting ahead of myself.

After I underwent total thyroidectomy in 2013, I had my Saul moment. I was working for the government during that time. And I was not happy. Work is not motivating, as well as the people around me. I tried implementing little changes but every time I did, I was given two feedbacks:

“We have an [office/department order] or law about that. You can’t just change things.”

“Process has been like that for decades. It’s been good. Why do you need to change it?” 

Doctors told me I wasn’t going to die during the operation. But it made me think: If I do die, what would I tell God? If He asks me to show my Facebook personal feed, would He like what He would see?

Above all, would I like what I see?

After careful consideration, plus an unexpected offer from my online client to go full-time from part-time, I smiled on the Valentine’s Day moon of February 14, 2014, my last day in the government job – and my last day as a corporate junkie.

I’m Ann Kristine A. Peñaredondo. I am the host of Pin To Top podcast, a Podcast Manager, Facebook™ Marketing Strategist, social media copywriter, published author, and speaker. Call me Ann. 🙂

As a Facebook™ Marketing Strategist, I have managed and grew Facebook Pages™ of top brands in shopping malls, retail, dairy, a boutique hotel, and luxury furniture, as well as authors and experts in business, food, health, and education. I created contagious content, ensured the smooth running of contests, and engaged fans in a conversation about the brands.

With my Facebook™ Advertising skills, I have ran advertising campaigns for government, IoT, retail, and coaches, with over US$30,000.00 optimized total campaign budget (and still counting!)

I am a contributor for 300th and Marketing in Asia, and I have been featured in Jomar Hilario’s Online Show and book Virtual Careers, Wazzup Pilipinas, Astig.PH, Prime Influencers, Marketing in Asia, Thrive Global, The Philippine Daily Inquirer, and The Manila Times.

I am a Published Author of “Small is BIG: 5 Exceptional Small Things On How To Switch From Being A Corporate Junkie To A BIG Time Online Professional” and “Skipping Stones: 52 ANNecdotes to Guide You in the Virtual Career Forest.”

I co-founded Success Squad, an inner circle with Nins Mendoza, for potential and successful virtual professionals.

I helped launch Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers Podcast, a show where Philippine tourism goes beyond travel, cultural attractions, and that “more fun in the Philippines” tagline.

As a podcast host, holding the mic was a totally different experience compared to launching a podcast! Thanks to my team management skills that I got as a Division Head of Copy Geeks for 2 years, I was able to make the team work a dream work for every member of the podcast launch team.

At the end of the day, I am known as the Nuclear Power Plant of Happiness because I spread fun and laughter in what I do. Others even say they felt “at ease with her even if I only met her for the first time.”

Just So You Know…

  1. I am an I in the D.I.S.C. (and an Advocate in Myers Briggs), but it doesn’t mean I don’t get things done.
  2. I adored boybands when I was in high school (thank you, MTV). I am a forever Backstreet Boys fan. 🙂
  3. My work online journey started on a two-day seminar workshop during Typhoon Ketsana. It took me 10 hours to go back home. It fueled me to pursue the path.
  4. I am a late bloomer. I don’t jump immediately to fads. I believe in the tried and tested. (Except for A.I. Thank God for my former client and mentor, Jeff J Hunter, for pushing me to learn about A.I.)
  5. My high school guidance counselor told me that I could have a good career in marketing, based on the career test that I took. I was like, “What!?!?” Well, look where I am now. (Thank you, Miss.)
