DDB Group Philippines was once again recognized as “Best Place to Work” Winner at the prestigious Campaign Global Agency of the Year (AOY) Awards 2023 recently held at the Carlton Tower Jumeirah in London, United Kingdom.
This is the third consecutive year that DDB Group Philippines received such distinction, being named Best Place to Work Gold Winner in Campaign’s Global AOY Awards 2021 and 2022, and Silver Winner in the recently concluded Global AOY Awards 2023.
Receiving the award in UK was DDB Group Philippines Chief Culture Officer and Managing Director for DDB Philippines and Bent & Buzz, Anna Chua-Norbert, who attributed the award to the agency group’s internal practices, commitment to excellence, and ethical standards that its clients can trust.
“This accolade fills us with immense pride and gratitude, serving as a testament to our unwavering commitment to our people and our dedication to creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Our people-first approach ensures that every team member is supported, valued, and motivated to deliver their best work.
“In an industry fraught with challenges, toxic hours, sexual misconduct, normalized throughout the years as people turn a blind eye, DDB Group Philippines has set a higher standard by prioritizing integrity and accountability that assures safe spaces and employees’ welfare,” said Chua.
The Best Place to Work achievement is also largely traceable to DDB Group Philippines patriarch, Group Chairman and CEO Gil Chua’s vision and generosity, which have been instrumental in creating a culture of excellence as his leadership inspires employees to strive for greatness every day.
“This award is a shared celebration of our collective dedication and hard work. It underscores the company’s belief that kindness and integrity in leadership lead to exceptional client service and outstanding results. It is a reminder that when we prioritize people and create a nurturing environment, success naturally follows. This victory is not just for us but for the Philippines,” he said.
