A-Team 360 Reputation Management Firm recently won the “Outstanding Leadership Award” at the Marketing 2.0 conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The Filipino firm headed by Brian Poe-Llamanzares was recognized alongside some of the world’s leading players in the marketing space.
Poe-Llamanzares, CEO of A-Team 360, proudly noted that the secret to the success of his company was due to the support of his strategic business partners and team.
“What I learned as a business owner is that real leadership is knowing when to take a step back and let the real experts take the lead”
After three years of building up the group, the firm is now comprised of strategic partnerships between 360 marketing agencies namely: A3, Oracle Media Group, and research and analytics firm WR advisory group.
The owners of these companies joined Poe-Llamanzares at the conference to encourage foreign investors to consider outsourcing their marketing, data research, and creative needs to the Philippines.
Poe-Llamanzares went on to cite the amount of economic opportunity the creative industry alone provides, noting that a big chunk of that industry comes from marketing, content creation, and other related industries.
“The Philippines is currently one of the world’s leading providers of creative services bringing in roughly $4 billion dollars in revenue. If you’re going to outsource your creative needs, I would proudly suggest investing in a Filipino team.”
There were other marketing firms from the Philippines that were also awarded in the same ceremony. Poe-Llamanzares noted he was even prouder to know that he was not alone in representing the country in this internal awarding ceremony.
“Each firm here does something that makes them stand out. They’ve achieved so much in the field of marketing. I’m humbled to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with these industry experts. I have so much left to learn. I’m truly grateful.”
Jerik Santos, President of the A3 Group of companies, took pride in their firm’s achievement.
“It’s such an honor for our A-Team 360 Group to get recognized by a globally acclaimed marketing committee, Marketing 2.0 Conference. It goes to show that our group is making waves in the global arena.”
Meanwhile, Faye Abrihan explained that this award was a testament to all the years the group had been working together to build an efficient and effective firm.
“We have all been collaborating with each other the past few years and I hope we can keep showcasing our collective’s expertise even more in the future.”
WR advisory VP for Data Analytics Leo Lofranco explained that the recognition was both reaffirming and humbling.
“What great pleasure and humility to see our company’s efforts A-Team 360s get fully recognized and awarded up stage in an international Marketing Conference.”
Poe-Llamanzares expressed his heartfelt thanks to each of his business partners stating that this award would not have been possible without their support, adding that the award truly belongs to all of them.
