Brandie & Tin: Executive Creative Directors of BBDO-Guerrero

Talk about a very late announcement. Goes to show what happens when you party first and blog later (and then work catches up with you)! Anyway, the official announcement after this really chic pic.


cut-and-pasted from : http://bbdo-go.com/?p=271

...we formally announced the promotion of Brandie Tan & Tin Sanchez to the position of joint Executive Creative Directors. Brandie & Tin were the team responsible for the our highly awarded ‘Lola Techie’ campaign for Bayan Telecommunications, and they will take over the creative leadership from Simon, who is returning to England as Creative Director of a top London Agency.

Brandie & Tin have been with us since 2008, when they joined as Head of Art and Head of Copy, prior to that they were joint Executive Creative Directors of Lowe Vietnam. As well as their highly recognized work for Bayan Telecommunications, they were the winners of the first and only Cannes Gold Lion for the Philippines.

Remarking on the appointments David [Guerrero] said, “Brandie & Tin have proven themselves to be ready to take on creative leadership of the Agency. They are one of the few teams in the region to have won gold this year in both regional Effectiveness award shows and Creative award shows. This perfectly summarizes our ambition to demonstrate that the same work can win both. Quite simply our aim is to become the leading agency in executing this vision for both local and international clients and Brandie & Tin’s creative leadership will be instrumental in continuing to deliver this."

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...

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 Flag Bearer I have always found it curious that in Philippine pop culture, there has never been a popular flag-bearing character. In United States, the obvious example would be Captain America; followed by Wonder Woman (with her red, white, blue and star-spangled outfit) and of course, Superman (whose costume follows the color motif of the American flag). They became symbols for the American people during World War II. In the days after 9/11, more New Yorkers were seen wearing their Superman and Captain America t-shirts. If we take a look at other countries, they didn’t seem to see the need to create such a character. Even when Marvel created characters like The Guardian (a Canadian super-hero) and Union Jack (a British super-hero), they didn’t seem to develop a big enough following and have comic book titles that reached the 100th issue or spin-off to become a TV or cartoon show. Here in the Philippines, popular characters like Darna and Panday are not “flag bearers”. I guess, ...
