The big winner of the night for Tribu was the radio campaign for Pinturas Protecto, which took the Grand Gold Volcano in the category, as well as two more Golds. Tribu DDB won a significant number of Gold, Silver and Bronze Volcanoes for 32 in total, out of 50 entries that were among the finalists. These awards were achieved for entries in print, TV, radio, interactive and others. “It has been an impressive demonstration of teamwork, passion and commitment,” said Diego Garcia, VP and General Manager of Tribu DDB, “We are also proud of the awards in interactive, where we won two Bronzes, a Silver and Gold for Seis mil Colores de Protecto in Best Web Design,” added Rogelio Umaña, Interactive Creative Director.
With this great award for agency of the year, repeated for the second consecutive time, Tribu DDB consolidates its position as the most creative agency in Costa Rica, a small but highly competitive market with the presence of all major international networks. Tribu and DDB began their partnership last January.
“I think this is the best way to say: Hello DDB! To our new partners in Central America, where we have Tribu DDB already in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Panama,” said Jorge Oller, President of Tribu DDB Central America. “Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo,” added Juan Carlos Ortiz, President of DDB Latina, who also said: “Definitely two is more than one. And to repeat speaks of talent, quality and consistency at the same time. Now let’s go for the third.
On Tribu DDB’s website, www.tribuddb.com, they say: “We want to be the most influential agency in Central America”. The new success as Agency of the Year is certainly a solid step forward in that direction.
