Havas Media Ortega and Starcom MediaVest have ranked joint number one media agency in the Philippines, according to findings from the Research Company Evaluating the Media Agency Industry (RECMA).

 

The qualitative evaluation, which was conducted in November, measured factors like vitality and structure from data for more than 880 media agencies and 640 digital agencies across 50 countries.

“We are happy with our performance,” said Havas Media Ortega treasurer and partner Hermie de Leon.

“We aimed to be the Philippines’ first truly integrated media agency and in a short period of time, we’re seeing the fruits of our labour, but this means we’ll just have to work doubly hard to keep those numbers up.”

Paris-based RECMA is the only independent company to publish a wide range of media agency notation reports on a global scale.
