The Happy Hour Asia (HHA) founder himself is a media (journalism and music) and marketing devotee of sorts and who is constantly growing his insights and understanding about all sectors of interest being covered, or that ought to be covered and shared with the readership. It is for him a never-ending journey of discoveries, learning and growth. Digital content creation and marketing, storytelling, and social media are in focus and also includes such consultancy services. To him work is a lifestyle, and lifestyle equals HHA. As for hospitality and travel he has done coverage for decades, primarily within Southeast Asia, while also spreading his wings though HHA’s vast coverage for HHA. Seeking those ’Joie de vivre’ momens is always there, and to share those Happy Hour experiences/offers, whatever they may consist in within the topics of coverage, is key; in fact a core mission. His personal avourite topics for coverage: upmarket hotels and restauants; excuisite design; beach clubs; rooftops; club lounges; bars and mixologists; chefs and cuisine; luxury destinations; festivals; unique concierge tips; and more. The enthusiam and passion for his favourite topics and lifestyle goals are second to none. Whenever there is a need/chance he also happily takes on assignments to provide his music curator expertise and discerning DJ music (based on a life-long love for music) service for discerning venues within the hospitality sector, as ’Deep Joaquin’.
