Melvin Mangada comments, “the Tambuli Awards is a unique show that recognizes the role of brands in uplifting humanity. It celebrates the purpose of creativity, how it can bring positive change to our communities.
Creativity is not just good for our humanity but it’s also good for business. More people are responding positively to brands that push forward meaningful human change. Brands must find their human purpose to matter more to people.”
Chris Chiu also opines “we all believe in the power of creativity and how ideas can change the way we live. Every once in a while, some of these ideas come to fruition and deserve to be applauded. The Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards is a celebration of all those ‘once in a whiles’.”
The pioneer award show globally that honors brands that do good and do well, the APAC Tambuli Awards celebrates brands that show the seamless integration of creativity + human good + results. Case study entries must demonstrate how brands uplift society, create positive change, and correlate purpose with purchase.
The APAC Tambuli Awards is not an award on charity, advocacy, pro bono, or CSR advertising, even if those campaigns are welcome and encouraged to enter. The award, however, focuses on mainstream brand campaigns that celebrate humanity, inspire purpose, and deliver results.
