Norman Agatep, chairman and chief executive of integrated marketing communication firm Grupo Agatep, was named one of the inaugural honorees of Campaign Asia-Pacific’s “50 Over Fifty”, a list that honors the most inspiring marketing and communications professionals aged 50 and above across the region.
Agatep is one of only two Filipino honorees in the list released on April 29. The “50 Over Fifty” list celebrates outstanding professionals across 14 markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The recognition highlights his decades of leadership, innovation, and lasting impact on the Philippine communications industry.
“The response from the industry for this initiative has been very strong, as we received many highly impressive nominations, making the job of Campaign Asia’s jury, made up of Haymarket managing director, Atifa Silk, and editorial director Robert Sawatzky, extremely difficult,” Campaign Asia-Pacific said in its official release.
The winners represent a diverse cross-section of the industry–from chief marketers and agency leaders to creatives, communicators, entrepreneurs and mentors–exemplifying tenacity, experience, and influence in shaping the future of marketing and communications.
Agatep has long been a driving force in key industry organizations beyond his work in Grupo Agatep. He was a two-term chairman of the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines (4As) and a two-term president of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP).
