DDB Worldwide CEO arrives for DigiCon 2019
DDB Worldwide global chief executive officer Wendy Clark visited the Philippines to give the opening keynote address on the second day of this year’s DigiCon, the largest gathering for the digital industry in the Philippines, from Oct. 16 to 18 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.
An accomplished communications executive who champions innovation and advocates diversity and collaboration, Clark is a big part of the success of DigiCon LEAP 2019 as one of its international speakers. She discussed creativity and leadership during her talk.
Organized by the Internet and Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines (IMMAP), DigiCon adopted “LEAP” as its theme this year to solidify its status as the learning and networking experience that unlocks digital marketing excellence for its stakeholders.
After her DigiCon engagement, Clark took time to meet with the executives of DDB Group Philippines led by its group chairman and CEO Gil Chua, who was more than glad to welcome Clark to the Philippines – her first time in Manila.
“Given DDB Group Philippines’ long-held diversity in management and commitment to have women equally represented in our senior management group, we are delighted to have Wendy as our global CEO. We are even more grateful to have her with us in Manila to share her views about the changing marketing communications landscape and give her refreshing take on our profession, as well as to meet up close with our employees and clients,” Chua said.
“I am thrilled to meet with our teams, clients and leaders throughout Manila, and to participate in DigiCon 2019,” said Clark. “The energy, agility and creativity coming from the Philippines is exceptional. Gil has masterfully led DDB Philippines for almost 30 years and the clients here are a source of tremendous pride for the DDB network.”
