Of Bangay, Universal McCann’s Managing Director Dino Laurena says, “With the breadth of experience that Alvin has in the media industry I am certain that he will add great value to our Universal McCann team in further evolving our capabilities as an innovative media organization.” 

Bangay brings with him over 13 years of industry experience. He began with an account management stint at Saatchi before shifting his career towards media specialization at Basic Advertising and moving on to JWT, where he was part of the team that launched WPP Mindshare Philippines.
