Brandie Tan joins Lowe Malaysia as ECD

Adobo Magazine,  FEBRUARY 6, 2012

Multiple award-wining Filipino creative director joins Lowe Malaysia as executive creative director.
Managing director Khairudin Rahim confirmed the appointment today. Tan will start in his new role on February 15.
Considered as one of the Philippines' top creatives, Tan has a collection of metals under his belt from Cannes, Clio, D&AD, The One Show, Spikes 

Asia, London International, Asian AdFest, AWARD Awards, DMA Echo, Digital Media Awards, Caples, the Asian Marketing Effectiveness Awards, the local Araw Awards and the Philippine Creative Guild Kidlat Awards, across all media, covering TV, print, radio, direct marketing, digital, outdoor and integrated.
Tan joins Lowe Malaysia after a stint at BBDO Guerrero as executive creative director, prior to which he was Lowe Vietnam's joint-ECD.

In his role as Lowe Malaysia ECD, he will be tasked with driving a multi-disciplined approach for a truly integrated creative product.

"I've often worked on materials for Malaysia at a regional level. Now I'm excited to be working from within the country. Khairudin's experience and guidance, along with the Lowe Asia-Pacific network, will make it a fun new challenge," says Tan confirming his move.

Tan  has led business-building integrated campaigns for numerous clients including Johnson & Johnson, FedEx, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Bayer, Visa, Ford, Adidas, Nestle, Pepsi, Pizza Hut, Bayan Telecommunications and Pfizer.

“Brandie joins us at a very opportune time in the evolution of Lowe in Malaysia. Last year, we marked our 50th anniversary in Malaysia, with a series of new clients like F&N Dairies, PlayTV Asia and a private university, plus new assignments from long-standing clients like Etiqa,
Walls, IKEA and Unilever," says Rahim.

“It's great to see Filipino creative talent getting the recognition it deserves. And we wish him every success in his new role," BBDO Guerrero's chief creative officer David Guerrero said on Tan's move.
“It is sad to lose a genuine talent, like Brandie, who has been part of the fabric for so long here. However, we are genuinely proud that not only other networks but other countries feel that they would like to borrow the talent from BBDO Guerrero. We wish him every success; he deserves it," says Tony Harris, CEO of BBDO Guerrero.

“Our focus, as always, will be about building powerful ideas that put our clients’ brand into the heart of popular culture, on and off line.  We have been looking far and wide for someone who will not just help us deliver that, but be a strong and inspiring leader to the agency. Brandie is well worth the wait.  Not only does he have a cupboard full of awards, he also shares our effectiveness mantra and is driven by great integration," says Rahim.

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi! I'm Budjette Tan, the writer of the comic book TRESE, which I co-created with Kajo Baldisimo.  You can get updates about the book over at https://www.facebook.com/TreseComics   I sometimes talk about the other things I'm writing about at https://www.facebook.com/BudjetteTanStories   And I'm also on Instagram, where I post about what I'm reading, eating, and of course about Trese https://www.instagram.com/budjette/   Over at Twitter, I'm just RT-ing and posting about comics, movies, and whatever else pops up on my feed https://twitter.com/budjette  I'm also on TikTok, but I don't know what to do with that account, so there's nothing to see there.

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
