SM Supermalls was hailed as winner of the most coveted Agora for Marketing Company of the Year in the prestigious 39th Agora Awards at the recently concluded Awards Night last October 19, held at the Okada Manila Grand Ballroom.

“Innovation has always been at the core of SM’s growth as exemplified by our founder Henry Sy Sr. when he opened SM North Edsa over 30 years ago in the swampland of Quezon City to today, as we partner with first-in-market global brands and introduce never-seen-in-the-Philippines activations that inspire family fun moments and bring smiles to children’s faces,” says Steven T. Tan, SM Supermalls Chief Operating Officer.

While Philippine Marketing Association hosts the Agora Awards annually, there has not been a winner of the Marketing Company of the Year for the past two years. Deemed as the Oscars of the Philippines’ marketing industry, the Agora Awards honor companies for their excellence, innovation, and contributions in the field of marketing.

The SM Group received its first Agora Award in 1999, where Mr. Henry Sy Sr. was presented with The Agora for Outstanding Achievement in Entrepreneurship – Large Scale. In 2004, The SM Foundation was given The Agora for Outstanding Achievement for Advocacy Marketing.

Caught Between Mountains

Sometime ago, Generous Actress (GA) was elated when Former Colleague (FC) dropped by for a visit. GA has not seen FC for quite a while and thus, seeing her again was much welcomed. The two spent time talking and renewing their former camaraderie. As for GA, the gesture of FC meant much, as she believes that very few can be counted on as real friends in the business.

Several days later, GA received a call from FC, who sounded very upset. Given her helpful nature, GA spent time listening to FC air her issues. The bottom line was that FC needed a huge amount of money to cover up her rent, that has remained unpaid for several months. FC assured GA that she will pay her load as soon as the project she’s working on gives her talent fee. GA then sent the hefty amount to FC and even wrote a lengthy letter indicating that she was always willing to help and be there for FC.

GA in a casual conversation with a Network Manager (NM) shared the incident with FC. NM said that GA was not the only one from whom FC borrowed money. Allegedly, FC has approached a number of personalities to help out in her financial woes but due to lack of work opportunities, she has been unable to repay her loans. The heart of GA was touched and she thought of letting FC stay in one of her units in case she gets kicked out.

However, the mood of GA changed upon hearing the probable reasons why FC has money troubles. Although FC had a lucrative career, she was unable to save much of her earnings, as she has gotten deep in illegal substances and the casino. Adding to her troubles is that even her family no longer wants to support her. Nonetheless, people could not turn her down when she asks for financial assistance. Then, they would be too embarrassed to ask FC to pay them back because she is held in high esteem in the entertainment industry.

The dilemma besetting GA is that she does not know how to approach FC and tell her that she already knows about her problem. GA is very cautious because she is aware that FC’s contract has certain provisions on drug use and gambling. As soon as the network finds out, FC might lose the opportunity to work with the station forever.

‘If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.’ ― The Dalai Lama
