The airline is steadily increasing its brand awareness and market share. It currently serves three direct flights from Singapore to the Philippines, with 32 weekly flights from Singapore to Manila, and daily flights from Singapore to both Cebu and Clark.

John Bailey, managing director of Icon International, said Cebu Pacific has an enviable reputation of being one of the world’s most successful and profitable low-cost airlines despite the increasingly challenging operating environment.

“Our task is to communicate the airline’s fantastic corporate story, showcase its value-for-money products and encourage Singaporeans to explore the exciting destinations the airline flies to,” he added.

Other clients of Icon International are adidas, Arup, Bridgestone, DHL, Intuit, Jebsen & Jessen, Siemens and Wildlife Reserves Singapore.
