PATTAYA, Thailand – There have been some significant contributions by Philippine Ad Agencies at the Asia Pacific ADFEST over the years, but perhaps the volume and impact of those wins has become more prominent over the past five years. Despite this there has never before been a retrospective look at this country’s work before at the Festival.
In this presentation, the head of that country’s industry organization aims to put that right with a presentation that will give us an insight into the culture of the 7,641-island archipelago and how it influences the work we see. Expect to see lots of great work and quite possibly a bit of fun.
