MANILA – The latest issue of adobo magazine is full of highs, with Ogilvy Worldwide chief creative officer Tham Khai Meng on top of the world on the cover, and pages upon pages of awards show coverage, including of course, an extensive post-festival coverage of the world’s biggest show, the Cannes Festival of Creativity.
In the cover story, we look at Tham’s legacy as Ogilvy’s creative captain talks about life before advertising, his secrets to success, and nurturing creativity in the agency globally in an exclusive interview.
Alongside coverage of the Tambuli and Tinta awards, the Cannes special report features a Winners Showcase, jury comments on the campaigns that bagged top metals, and stories from delegates who experienced the festival firsthand.
We also cover entertainment design conference ICON Manila on its successful first run in the Philippines, with speakers from Disney and Sony Pictures animation inspiring students and creative professionals as they shared their experiences in the field.
The July-August issue also celebrates women: female single-malt scotch aficionados star in Trendspotting; advertising leading lady Chiqui Lara stars in a profile right after she stepped down from a 31-year long career; a special section focuses on marketing to women, with features that weigh in on the purchasing power of women, how they make spending decisions, their digital takeover, and how they are portrayed in ads.
Meanwhile, the production showcase features one of advertising’s most prolific VFX houses, The Mill, and director Borgy Torres’ quick critiques of the Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide’s New Director Showcase.
