Darbie Kim Estrebilla’s journey from OFW to video marketing mogul is marked by grit, creativity, and an unrelenting drive to disrupt the industry. Known for his candid insights and sharp humor, Darbie’s success isn’t just about technical expertise but authenticity and relatability while blending wit with wisdom in his content.
This unique mix has allowed him to amass over a billion video views, five million followers, and a track record of training students who have collectively generated over P100 million in revenue.
Beyond his on-screen persona, Darbie is a strategist at heart. His unconventional marketing experiments prove the power of positioning. One standout moment? Selling a pen for P 70,000—not for its material value, but because of the narrative and branding behind it. The proceeds went to charity, but the experiment reinforced a crucial lesson: success isn’t just about the product; it’s about how you market it.
His career has not been without challenges. From dealing with online bashers to navigating content stagnation, Darbie has had to evolve continuously.
He transitioned from love advice to viral social issues before finding his true calling in video marketing. Despite his larger-than-life online presence, Darbie is an introvert at his core, recharging in solitude before stepping back into the spotlight. He also has a surprising hidden talent—he’s an exceptional gamer, admitting that if content creation hadn’t worked out, he might have pursued a career in e-sports.
Looking ahead, the future of Real Talk Darbs is packed with big moves: the opening of a 336-square-meter House Creatives headquarters, the launch of new training programs, and a landmark 3,000-person live event in December. Through it all, Darbie remains steadfast in his goal—to make Philippine entrepreneurs billionaires through the power of video marketing.
