A quick one hour reunion among the original Out-Of-Home Media team of UniversalMcCann.
Minnie Bobe-Rakvag flew into town from freezing Norway with her husband Andre, who was eager to get some lessons on the driving range.
Time flies quickly. Not too many years ago we were a team of three perched from the 33rd floor of GT Tower, "littering" the stretches of EDSA and SLEX with billboards for Coke, Globe, Nestle, Philip Morris, and all the other accounts in between.
Initially there was me. Then came Dep de Pasion, who now has a very "un-advertising" job for the Manila office of international lawyers, Baker & MacKenzie. A few months later, Minnie came on board. Minnie mainly managed the nationwide outdoor media inventory of Globe and Touch Mobile. Favorite clients: Dodo Reyes, Peter Monis, and Archie Monzon. Dep on the other hand was the master of the 35sqm. billboards handling the restricted tobacco ads of Philip Morris. Favorite clients: Jenny Lladoc, Mean Paredes, and Maarten Kila.
aha! kayo pala ang salarin! :-D
ReplyDeleteon clients' orders po :D
ReplyDeletehehehe. ya lah. trabaho lang, walang personalan :-D
ReplyDeleteit was so surreal to see minnie in manila. i felt like it was just her wedding a few months back.
ReplyDeletetrue. to top it all, from my point of view, parang kahapon lang ang training namin ni minnie sa mccann in 1997. that was our memorable first meeting with you, josette, adel, and the gang. all the 11 years passed by so quickly.
ReplyDeletecooks, i am very grateful to your father-in-law for opening the way :-)
