  • Fortune will favor the brave in 2021

    As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to reshape the economy and everyday life, advertisers must keep up with trends caused or accelerated by the global health crisis. In a panel discussion hosted recently by the Philippine Association of National Advertisers (Pana) via Zoom, advertising executives shared insights on brand building amid the pandemic.

Here are some of the tips advertising experts shared at the event on brand building and adapting to the COVID-19 crisis.

  • Badong Abesamis exits Y&R, sets up new agency, GIGIL

With his team, he helped win Y&R its first Philippine Agency of the Year plate in 2016, snatching another this year. The agency bagged for the Philippines its first APAC Effies metal on his watch. And under his direction, Y&R Philippines snared its first pride of Cannes Lions since it opened for business 30 years ago.
