REPRESENTING 170K GRAPHIC ARTISTS – WITH CAP HERNANDEZ OF PHILIPPINE GRAPHIC
ARTISTS

This week’s episode of the Outsource Accelerator podcast has something a little
different. Derek speaks with Cap Hernandez, co-founder of Philippine Graphic
Artists (PGA), an online group composed of creative freelancers. 

They discuss the nature of the PGA group, the current freelancing setting, and
how the creatives navigate the industry.


ABOUT PHILIPPINE GRAPHIC ARTISTS (PGA)

The episode starts with Cap introducing Philippine Graphic Artists. 

“Philippine Graphic Artists is one of the biggest and oldest graphic design
communities here in the Philippines. We’re now at 168,000 members and counting.

The most important thing [about this group] is the people and members we’ve
helped. A lot of times [they] would approach me and tell me that they were able
to get inspired, learn new things, and get clients.” 

The group began as a collection of graphic designers and artists, but has since
expanded to include illustrators, UI/UX designers, web developers, and even
social media managers and marketers.

Beyond being a social media group, Cap is focused on making PGA more of an
association or even company to help train members.

“We’re registering it right now and also fixing the programs. For example, [in]
the educational track, we have a lot of free workshops or webinars that
[members] can attend [to] improve their skills.” 

Thanks to his background in sales, Cap is also able to help with the business
aspects. 

“I’ve been in sales more than half of my life, so that’s ten years. [So] I’m
trying to teach [the members] how to sell and how to get clients. 

Cap acknowledges that most people in this industry just want to create, which is
why he helps them grow professionally.

“It’s very challenging for creatives to do that because they’re not really built
[for it]. 

So I teach them to build their personal brand, optimize their profile, and post
content that will get noticed by your potential clients.”

PHILIPPINE CREATIVE INDUSTRY 

Freelancing is a big part of not just the group, but the entire Philippine
creative industry. 

“[The US] is really outsourcing creatives here in the Philippines because
they’re really good. I don’t have the specific numbers, but [there] can be
thousands of agencies that’s doing that.” 

When asked about freelancing platforms, Cap says that one’s personal drive
matters more. 

“It’s really about how you put yourself out there. Even if it’s Upwork, or
Facebook, or a different platform, it’s how you put yourself out there. 

There are really a lot of opportunities right now, and you just need to look for
it. Or sometimes if you’re lucky, opportunities will find you.” 

Philippine creative industry


IMPACT OF AI ON CREATIVES 

As has become the norm, the topic of AI is raised, with Derek mentioning the
current digital movement and how creative communities are reacting. 

Cap recalls that there was definitely a fear at the start, but quickly explains
how they adapted, up to creating a community podcast to discuss it.

“There are members right now who believe that if you don’t learn AI, you’ll be
obsolete. So people who are graphic designers who know how to use AI will
eventually thrive.” 

Cap isn’t too worried about the future of the industry, believing that creatives
must simply adjust their perspectives. 

“You just have to focus on yourself right now instead of focusing on the
external things that you really cannot control. 

That’s what I tell them. Focus on the things that you can control because that’s
where you can improve.” 

Impact of AI on creatives


SALES AND INTROVERSION

Cap would be the first to admit that introversion is a common trait within the
creative community. Derek points out that this could be hard when one is trying
to promote themselves.

“Some people think [that it’s a weakness], but it’s actually not.  What I try
[to] tell or teach them is that you have to know your strengths, or what I call
the ‘introverted superpowers’” 

Cap mentions his book, “Selling for Introverts,” and goes a bit into his history
in sales. 

“As an introvert, I was able to really use my ‘superpowers’ in closing deals.

So imagine that I just use my superpowers [to] talk to the right people, [that]
I answer their questions, [and be] there whenever they really need help. I’m
teaching that to the creatives as well.”

OA IN THE MEDIA

“The BPO industry has historically been resilient during crises, said Derek
Gallimore, founder of Outsource Accelerator, an industry adviser. "Outsourcing
is fundamentally countercyclical. The industry can do well in recessions and
depressions," Gallimore said.”

Cliff Venzon, Nikkei Asia

500 outsourcing firms globally. For the first time, there is a reliable method

“The best ways to free up your time involve regulating better workplace
productivity and finding different strategies to efficiently get work done. With
that said, here are several steps you can take.”

Derek Gallimore, Forbes

“While companies internally are not always set up to deliver a seamless CX, the
CX industry itself is becoming more demanding, as well. Derek Gallimore, founder
and CEO of Outsource Accelerator, an outsourcing marketplace and advisory firm
based in Manila, has witnessed the rising complexity of the customer service
industry firsthand.”

Harvard Business Review

“The Great Resignation is unavoidable, and it is still happening as employees
continue to look for job opportunities with greater working conditions. From The
Great Resignation to The Great Talent Reshuffle — the key here is to retain
employees.”

Derek Gallimore, Entrepreneur

“Despite being used for decades, outsourcing is still often looked down upon or
misunderstood but Derek Gallimore sees it creating a seismic shift of how and
where companies employ their workers.”
