As a rising agency based in Batangas City, PEAK Marketing was built on a mission to drive growth through innovative strategies and creative solutions. Since our establishment in January 2025, we’ve been focused on building strong connections with our partners and clients, striving to become a top-of-mind name in the industry.
Our first major leap came in the form of an unforgettable event: a heartfelt Mother’s Day celebration held at De Novo Restaurant in Lipa City. This marked not just our debut in event management but also a turning point that brought our creative vision to life.
Located in Barangay Inosluban, De Novo officially opened its doors on April 8, 2025. The opening was graced by Lipa City Mayor Hon. Eric B. Africa, City Councilor Hon. Mikee Morada, and other esteemed guests. What used to be a rented warehouse has been transformed into a stunning industrial-style restaurant. It was designed to foster community, creativity, and culinary excellence.
The restaurant is owned by Mr. Jonathan and Mrs. Marissa Gamboa, a couple whose love for Batangas inspired them to establish their business here. Their journey began after meeting Mr. Mar Silverio, a member of PCCI Lipa City, who introduced them to the property. From there, they envisioned and brought to life what is now De Novo Restaurant.
On May 11, 2025, De Novo came alive with its first-ever major event, thoughtfully planned and organized by our team at PEAK Marketing. We poured our hearts into crafting a unique and memorable celebration for a love like no other: a mother’s love.
The night began with a red carpet entrance, where each mother was greeted with a long-stemmed rose and a thoughtful token. Guests were ushered to their reserved seats after taking a red-carpet photo. This set the tone for an evening of elegance and heartfelt celebration.
Our team curated a 13-course dinner buffet that brought both comfort and sophistication to the table. It was an experience made for sharing love, laughter, and family moments.
As the host welcomed the guests, the evening’s program unfolded with games, raffle draws, special performances, and heartfelt surprises. Thanks to the generosity of De Novo, lucky guests won free meals and gift vouchers, which immediately sparked excitement in the room.
One of the highlights was the mother-and-child games. These not only brought joy but also showcased the unspoken bond and mutual understanding between moms and their children.
The room fell silent and mesmerized when Carmela Lorzano, Grand Winner of TV5’s Sing-Galing Ultimate Bida-Oke Season 2, graced the stage. Her stunning vocals filled the venue, leaving guests in awe and even asking for more. At just 16 years old, her presence and talent left a lasting impression on everyone present.
The emotional peak of the night came during our Open Letter segment. Attendees were invited to write messages to their moms. One brave young boy brought tears to everyone’s eyes as he stood in front of the crowd and read his message aloud. It was a reminder that love does not need grand gestures to be deeply felt.
This event was more than just a celebration for mothers. It was a defining moment for us at PEAK Marketing. It was our first organized gathering. While we faced the usual first-time jitters, our passion, dedication, and teamwork turned those nerves into a night of genuine success. Seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, and feeling the warmth in the room were the real rewards.
De Novo’s contemporary industrial interior became the perfect canvas for an evening that celebrated life, love, and gratitude. With this first project, we proved to ourselves and to others that we are more than capable of turning ideas into impact.
“We wanted to give our 100 percent for every project PEAK will have, and we started with this celebration. We wanted to give a night all mothers deserve, an unforgettable one,” shared one of our team members.
We are incredibly grateful to De Novo Restaurant for trusting PEAK Marketing with this vision. Through this collaboration, we were able to showcase not just our capabilities but also our passion for meaningful and results-driven execution.
“This partnership allowed us to show not just the capabilities of PEAK Marketing but also our passion and commitment to delivering a notable craft, one that resonates with life,” said Ms. Mary Rose C. Rivero, our CEO.
As we move forward, we carry with us the success, the lessons, and the stories from that special night. And we cannot wait to create more.
