PHILIPPINES – JULY 1, 2011 – After over three years, Ace Saatchi & Saatchi VP for Integration Tonypet Sarmiento is leaving the agency. Today is his last day.
"Just really need to take a break and spend some quality time with my family. It’s the other kind of ‘integration’ I need to attend to,"
Sarmiento told adobo.
Sarmiento’s work has been recognized by various local, regional and global shows including Kidlat, Araw, Kancils, LIA, Clio, One Show and Cannes Lions. Last year’s ADFEST Best of Press victory for the Vespa ad "Our Ride – She Hated", was a career high for Sarmiento, who has had stints at OgilvyOne, Publicis, BBDO/Guerrero Ortega, Grey Worldwide Malaysia and Proximity Philippines prior to joining Ace Saatchi & Saatchi.
Sarmiento is also known in the industry as part of the ad agency band Pasok Mga Bwitre and led the Ace Saatchi & Saatchi team to victory in this year’s Adobo Football Cup as team captain.
Said Ace Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Matt Seddon: "I wish Tonypet well. It is sad to lose him but we understand that people do move on."
