Flores has been promoted from associate creative director to creative director. Over the past few years, he has worked on a number of accounts including Western Union, Solmux, Jollibee and LuckyMe.

“It is but proper then that he be given the title of CD officially,” said a company statement. “Lec continues to display the same passion and enthusiasm he had as an intern at Jimenez D’Arcy. His sense of accountability that he displayed as an agency upstart and his collaborative spirit during the merger years remain unwavering.”

Promoted from art director to associate creative director, Villaruel is part of the team behind the agency’s Greenwich ‘Sobrang cheesy’ campaign. “As a quadrant leader, he continues to lead the team from its rocky conception to its recent Ti Amo pitch win,” stated the company.

Finally Ilingan steps up from account manager to account supervisor.

“Sam has made a significant contribution to the success of the current PHCare campaign and the well-received Manila Bulletin TV series. Her critical role in the successful and timely completion of the Splash annual report is indicative of Sam’s usual work formula - ‘kulit’, diligence, action, attention to timelines and detail, all tempered with a smile.”
