REPORT FROM : http://www.adobomagazine.com/global/module.php?LM=news.level1&id=1395654126226

 Publicis JimenezBasic gets new creative leadership with the appointment of Brandie Tan as ECD. In his new role, Tan will lead the creation of truly integrated engagement between brand and audience. Having won local and international awards for both creativity and effectivity, Tan will guide the creative team in creating business-building, integrated campaigns for some of the country's biggest brands.
 
JR Ramos, Joint CEO of PJB, shared, "Brandie will be a shot in the arm for our Creative Team at Publicis JimenezBasic. With both creativity and effectivity awards under his belt for traditional, digital, and fully integrated campaigns, he will help improve and push the quality of our work so that our brands remain successful and top-of-mind for many people."
 
 
 
Tan brings with him a wealth of experience having served as ECD of Lowe Vietnam, BBDO Guerrero, and most recently, Lowe Malaysia. He was replaced by Zaidi Awang. 
 
 Tan was part of the team that won the first Gold Cannes Lion for the Philippines back in 2007 together with his partner, Tin Sanchez. He has also been integral in the creation of work such as DOT's It's More Fun in the Philippines and Bayan DSL's Lola Techie. In 2011, he was ranked as the no. 1 ECD in the country after having helped BBDO Guerrero garner local and international awards for clients such as FedEx, Bayer Saridon, Pepsi, Anlene, and The Philippine Department of Tourism.
 
Commenting on his appointment, Tan said, “Publicis JimenezBasic’s work has always been part of Filipino pop culture and I’m happy to now get a chance to be part of creating new campaigns with the hope of achieving the same status. There is much to be done, especially in being able to speak with the audience through mobile, social and online. The goal is to push the work by keeping the insights local and the crafting global.”

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, ...
