A slow phone can disrupt more than just your day—it can interrupt work, break your focus, and turn simple tasks into frustrating experiences. As apps become more demanding and users spend more time on their devices than ever before, reliable performance is no longer a premium feature; it’s an everyday necessity.

Advertising agency powerhouse DDB Group Philippines has announced its rebranding as “GGC Group Asia,” marking its evolution into an independent creative force. 

The move follows the decision of Omnicom Group, the holding company of marketing communications network DDB Worldwide, to retire the DDB brand globally by the end of the first half of 2026, following its acquisition of Interpublic Group in November last year.

Established in 1992 through a groundbreaking partnership between New York-based DDB Worldwide and pioneering Filipino-owned agency Advertising Marketing and Associates (AMA), DDB Group Philippines had served as the local office of the DDB network in the country for more than three decades until the brand’s dissolution this year.

As GGC Group Asia, the company will continue to collaborate with Omnicom Group as needed, ensuring clients’ continued access to global marketing communications tools and resources.

Legacy and a Bold New Beginning

According to GGC Group Asia Chairman and CEO Gil G. Chua, whose initials inspired the company’s new name, the organization welcomed Omnicom’s global direction to retire the 75-year-old DDB brand while honoring the legacy built through decades of partnership.

“GGC Group Asia moves forward with deep gratitude for our long-standing partnership with Omnicom and DDB Worldwide — a relationship that elevated our standards, sharpened our thinking, and gave Filipino talent a global stage,” he said. “We are entering a defining chapter not by leaving something behind, but by fully coming into our own. We are embracing our future with full independence, full responsibility, and a renewed commitment to shared prosperity.”

On a personal note, Chua said this new chapter also allows him to continue building a legacy in an industry to which he has dedicated much of his life.

“This rebrand is more than a change in name — it is a proud affirmation of the legacy, leadership, and vision that have guided our businesses through the years. It is incredibly rewarding and humbling to see my own initials become synonymous with the businesses that my family, our business partners, and I have passionately built, nurtured, and grown together over the years,” Chua said.

Further Rebranding and Integration of businesses

As part of this development, three of the group’s integrated marketing communications (IMC) companies that also carry the DDB brand name, or that of its digital arm Tribal Worldwide, have also rebranded: DDB Philippines is now Velocity+, DDB MNL is now Alab MNL, and Tribal Worldwide Philippines is now The Tribe.

The group’s other advertising-related companies shall continue to operate under their current names as follows: Optimax Communications (IMC), Agile Intelligence (data analytics), Ripple8 (PR), Touch XDA (media planning and buying), and Bent and Buzz (content and events management).

Alongside this transition, being integrated into GGC Group Asia are DDB Group’s sister companies from the FCT Group, comprising business solutions firms, namely, FOSA, Caishen, Track Mnl, Xpress Move, Strawberry Jam, and PhilMovers. 

With this integration, the GGC Group Asia will comprise 14 companies across 18 office locations nationwide, with a combined workforce of over 7,500 employees.

This strengthens the group’s ability to deliver a full spectrum of solutions—from advertising, public relations, and media planning and buying to logistics and other marketing and sales support services. It also reflects the group’s growing capability to serve markets beyond the Philippines and throughout Asia.

No Changes to Leadership and Operations

The group clarifies that the rebrand will not affect leadership, talent, client relationships, or ongoing operations. All contracts and service agreements will remain fully in place. 

“While our name evolves, our commitment to creativity, effectiveness, and strong client partnerships remains unwavering. Our clients and partners can expect seamless continuity of service and the same standard of creative and strategic excellence that has defined the organization from the very start,” Chua said. 

GGC Group Asia shall also continue to be guided by a commitment to building businesses that create not only profit, but also lasting impact — ensuring that business growth is aligned with the greater good of clients, talent, and the communities it serves.

Carrying Forward a Tradition of Excellence

Prior to the rebrand, DDB Group Philippines had established a strong track record, with the group and its agencies earning local and international recognition for creativity, effectiveness, and advocacy-driven campaigns developed in partnership with clients and non-profit organizations. 

Among the group’s most notable achievements are the Philippines’ first Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions and first Gold at the Advertising and Marketing Effectiveness (AME) Awards, both won in 2013; the Philippines’ only Gold award at Spikes Asia 2025; the “Best in Management of Business-Network Agency of the Year” award at the 4As Philippines AOY Awards in 2022; and multiple “Agency of the Year” recognitions at the IABC Philippine Quill Awards (2013, 2014, and 2019), and the PRSP Anvil Awards (2024).

DDB Group Philippines also received numerous accolades and certifications recognizing it as a “great place to work” or one of the “best companies to work for” from both local and international award-giving bodies, including the Campaign Agency of the Year Awards–Asia Pacific and Global, HR Asia, the International Stevies, Great Place To Work®, and the BusinessWorld Best Places to Work Awards.

This tradition of excellence and award-winning work will continue into its next chapter as GGC Group Asia.
