Following a string of local and national awards, Campaigns Cebu becomes the first Cebu-based advertising agency to win an international creative award. Last April 30,at the Summit International Awards in Portland, Oregon, USA, Campaigns Cebu garnered gold and silver trophies in the TV Ad Category among the thousands of submissions from 24 countries.
Topping other entries were Campaigns Cebu’s entries in the Public Service Announcement TV ad category. Their 30-second TV ad for the Department of Education in partnership with the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) entitled “Patience” won a Gold award. Getting a silver award in the same category is their 60-second TV ad entitled “Preparedness”, which is also for DepEd/CCCI.
The Summit International Awards Organization (SIA) organizes the competition every year to recognize creative excellence in the advertising world. This year’s international panel of judges included professionals from Ogilvy B2, Saatchi & Saatchi, Stellar Debris, MCN Interpublic Group, Elevator, Pixel & Co. Creative Marketing, Paragon Marketing Communications, RT Strategic, CMI Web Studio, E-cubed.com Media Synthesis Inc., Brad, and MFX Inc.
Over the past 16 years, the Summit International Awards Organization has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of creative greatness. Being recognized by the SIA gives the agency prestige and value.
These international creative awards, as well as the national awards Campaigns Cebu recently won for Julie’s Bakeshop and Electrolux, are a testament to the agency’s creative strength and number one position in the VisMin area. According to Zen Pastoriza, Creative Director of Campaigns Cebu, “The staff is really happy to finally win an international award and to proclaim that they are truly a multi-awarded agency. We are very proud that Cebu can deliver international-quality advertising work in an increasingly competitive world market”.
