The Globe IDD campaign (2002)

IDD reunion


IDD trophy



We weren’t supposed to work on this project. I came to the office and found Argem brainstorming for the new IDD campaign. He had this idea for a guy who was calling up his OFW dad, thanking him for the pasalubong he got.

In the span of an afternoon we came up with four stories. Argem then worked til 3AM, drawing the storyboards.

Back then, our routine was, he’d leave the boards on my desk and I’d just pick them up before going to the meeting.

So, I got the meeting and realized that Argem only gave me three storyboards. He didn’t get draw the TROPHY story. I texted him and he replied, apologizing that he was too tired to draw the fourth board.

The meeting started. One team presented several boards and I presented my three boards and one script. As luck would have it, they chose the last two stories we presented.

TRIVIA: During the first year of Globe’s (G)-moments campaign, we use one guy to do all the VOs. He was the “Voice of Globe” who always capped off every story with, “Making great things possible.” It was Telly’s bright idea to get this talent. We said we need a voice didn’t sound like your typical announcer, but should sound distinct and give Globe that certain personality. So, who was the Voice? ANSWER: Jett Pangan.

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...

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...
