Tough + Love = Awards!

Hi2u world! ^_^

Remember this video circa Valentines last year?

Real Men Surprise Their Dates

Returning to the wild world of Ad Land, that little video I directed last year for Unilever Philippines via the good people at Ogilvy & Mather continues to surprise and rack up awards here in the Philippines.

Under the project title: Real Men are Made of Tough + Love’ my friends from Ogilvy last week walked away from the prestigious UA&P Tambuli Awards with a Gold Metal for CREATIVE EFFECTIVENESS, a Silver Metal for INTEGRATED BRAND CONTENT AND ENTERTAINMENT and yet another Silver Metal in the SMALL BUDGET BRAND awards categories.

Not a bad night for our small, surprising stunt video. Much <3 to Eric Yeo, Gerry Cacanindin, Ping Ronquillo and all the other great creatives at Ogilvy that dreamed up the concept, sold it to the client and helped bring it to life with myself, Wish Saliente Torres and Maricel Ticar. I am grateful I had a chance to contribute to this project as a director. Huzzah to the romantics & dreamers in us all. ^_^
