The Media Specialists Association of the Philippines (MSAP) is on its 10th year and its Media Congress and Ice Awards are bigger than ever. Held in Resorts World Manila, the series of talks from a number of professionals and the awards night were certainly one for the books.
There are a number of awards shows for the Advertising Industry in the Philippines. However, these mostly cater to the Creatives side of the industry. To recognize the media practitioners of the industry, Ice Awards was created by MSAP.
Ice, which stands for Innovation, Creativity, and Effectiveness, is the media industry’s recognition of best practices and most effective campaigns. With its objective to recognize exemplary works of MSAP members in media thinking & communication and to inspire fellow media practitioners, MSAP’s Ice Awards has done exactly that for the media industry ever since its founding.
