PROJECT: CYRANO

I recently had the chance to work with Michael V aka Bitoy, when we were given the task to promote Globe's various texting and calling offers.

The challenge was to come up with a situation that involved a whole lot of calling and texting that would some how involve Bitoy and his family.

Reinard Santos, my Art Director, was the one who came up with the story of Bitoy helping out a cousin who didn't know what say to his very pretty date. Director Henry Frejas then took our idea, jumbled some scenes around, and made the story more streamlined. This is what finally aired on TV:



Aside from the TV commercial, we also had to come up with a print ad that focused on the different offers. Since we wanted to show the benefit of each offer, we decided to make a series of print ads about them. Usually, in a tri-media campaign, the print ad is just an adaptation of the what one sees in the TV commercial.

Working with my Art Director, Erwin Trivino, we decided to continue the story of the lovely couple from the TVC. This is what people read in the newspapers the day after the launch of the TVC.






I guess there was a certain advantage our Globe ads now use this mondrian look, that I was able to treat the ads like comic book panels.

Reading all those comic book cross-overs made me think of how one gets the main story from the maxi-series, but gets a bigger story if one buys the rest of the comic books that's part of the cross-over.

And that's what we tried to do with this campaign.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...
Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
