From an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Dubai to a powerhouse in the Philippine content creation industry, Darbie Kim Estrebilla—widely known as Real Talk Darbs—has charted an unconventional yet inspiring path.
Darb’s journey began with a simple realization: he had a natural talent for communication. What started as a lightbulb moment in a weight loss challenge eventually evolved into one of the country’s most influential video marketing brands.
Real Talk Darbs is not just about creating content but creating creators who drive transformation. At its core, the brand believes that “one changed soul is worth more than a billion views.”
Darbie’s mission is to equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge and strategies to grow their businesses using video marketing, eliminating the need to work abroad for financial security. If that isn’t a mission worth supporting, I don’t know what is.
Having spent a decade as an OFW, Darbie understands the struggles of Filipinos seeking better opportunities overseas. His experience taught him that financial stability isn’t limited by geography—it’s about leveraging the right platforms.
Today, through Real Talk Darbs and House Creatives, the company Darb’s founded,he provides business owners with accessible, results-driven marketing education, proving that strategic content creation can be a game-changer.
While many digital marketing courses remain exclusive to agencies or high-paying clients, Real Talk Darbs disrupts the industry by making premium knowledge accessible. Darbie simplifies complex video marketing strategies, ensuring that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can compete on the same level as major corporations. His approach is rooted in experience, not theory—what he teaches comes from strategies he has personally tried and tested.
The shift to business education wasn’t immediate.
In his early years, Darbie gained massive traction discussing viral social topics, with one of his videos reaching eight million views in just 24 hours. Yet, rather than fulfillment, he felt empty.
That moment of self-reflection led him to pivot from trending topics to transformational content. Today, Real Talk Darbs focuses on helping entrepreneurs scale their businesses through compelling video storytelling.
Darbie’s vision for the future is bold: he aims to establish himself as the category king in video marketing for businesses, make premium education free through content, and host a 3,000-person live event by December. More than just a content creator, he is a catalyst for change, empowering Filipinos to thrive in a digital economy.
