What Ace Saatchi & Saatchi does

Ace Saatchi & Saatchi is a Philippines-headquartered, full-service advertising and communications agency operating as part of the Saatchi & Saatchi global network. The company serves large Philippine enterprise clients across telecommunications, consumer goods, healthcare, financial services, and retail, delivering integrated advertising, branding, creative, digital marketing, and communications services. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based campaign work and retainer engagements with major advertisers, with sales driven through direct enterprise relationships, strategic pitches, and industry reputation. The business is organized around a five-brand in-house portfolio: the core Ace Saatchi & Saatchi agency for brand strategy and shopper activation; Lemonade for digital performance marketing, SEO/SEM, influencer marketing, and analytics; Designery for brand identity, packaging, and design systems; Scrollhouse for high-volume, platform-native social and TikTok content; and Make Technology for UX research, web/app/e-commerce development, and IoT solutions. Together these sub-brands allow the firm to offer end-to-end capabilities spanning strategy, creative production, content distribution, performance marketing, and digital product delivery.

The company has built its reputation on measurable, award-winning campaign outcomes — including a 165% revenue increase for TNT Free Games for All, a 44% sales increase for Sangobion Symptom Patrol, a 382% sales increase for Tiger Energy Playground, and a Guinness World Record for the Longest Travel Livestream via TNT Petmaloop. It has won recognition at Cannes Lions (2012-2014, including Graphite Pencils and PR/Media awards), Spikes Asia (sole Philippine Gold in 2022), YouTube Works Awards (2021), Boomerang, Gerety, Tangrams, TikTok PH (2024), and the International Business Awards (2025 Gold Stevie). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; services are quoted on a project-by-project or retainer basis.
