Industries assemble for Ad Summit Pilipinas 2014

Various industries have joined forces to advance the practice of advertising in the country by affirming their support for Ad Summit Pilipinas 2014 on May 7-10, the much-awaited ad and marketing event that is expected to rock the local scene this year.

Aptly themed “Age of Enlightenment,” the summit, which is scheduled from May 7 to 10 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, is expected to draw over 2,000 local and international advertising and marketing practitioners, who are set to gain insights on the ever changing landscape of the local and global creative scene.

From the telecommunications industry, PLDT Home, provider of trusted digital services in the country, sealed a partnership with Summit organizer—the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines (4As Philippines)—to be a major presenter of the event and to supply a powerful fiber broadband that will connect devices for seamless, simultaneous streaming during the convention.

Another major presenter, Smart Communications, Inc., will make mobile connectivity viable at the conference grounds.

“These new partnerships are perfect indications that there is a growing interest and support for our groundbreaking learning event. We are ecstatic to bring positive changes for the industry,” said Ad Summit chair Matec Villanueva.

These include the Manila Broadcasting Company; ABS-CBN Corporation; Radio Mindanao Network (RMN: Radyo Mo Nationwide); The Philippine Star, and TV5.
