LBC introduces the Padalakada, a 3D animated campaign by BBDO Guerrero

LBC launches a bold new brand platform with their recently appointed agency, BBDO Guerrero. They put endorsers at the front and center of quirky, character-driven ads, but instead of influencers, LBC has created the ‘Padalakada’, a cast of 3D-animated, everyday objects.  

With the most extensive network nationwide and enhanced digital services, LBC offers a vast range of solutions to send and receive items locally and abroad. The animated characters starred in a series of digital spots and activations that cater to the courier, cargo and remittance services provided by LBC Express.

And who better to speak about these services than the items themselves. LBC’s ‘Padalakada’ are carefully created characters each representing a specific service. Meet Jordy and P. Air, a pair of sneakers, who endorse the brand’s main courier service.  Potricia, a plant pot and momprenuer, represents SoShop!, LBC’s program for social sellers.  Pursee loves k-pop and remitting with LBC. While Phiona the phone and Blesh the blush swoon over an LBC rider on his way to pick them up.  Many more characters round out the cast.

Javier Mantecon, LBC Chief Marketing Officer shares, “We wanted to create a new voice for the brand to reflect the innovations and breadth of services that we offer.  BBDO has been able to bring this to life in a fresh way and we are very excited to share our upcoming programs and offers to the different customers we serve.”

“With LBC’s portfolio of products and services, it was important that we created a consistent platform with the flexibility to tailor messages for different customer segments, “ said BBDO Guerrero Creative Chairman, David Guerrero.  “It’s been a wonderful collaboration with our clients and productions partners and we are very proud of the work we have done together”. 

The campaign received the highest ad recall lift on YouTube of 13.4% within the logistics category.

 

PNP partners with LBC for road safety and anti-criminality education

Innovation, in the case of the country’s the Philippines' market leader in payments, remittance, courier products, mail, parcels, and cargo logistics, can lend itself to a nation’s capacity building.

A recent partnership between the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) and LBC is meant to address the alarming rise of traffic, crime and accidents in Metro Manila—creating a strategic and integrated approach to road safety and efficiency.

Under the agreement, the PNP-HPG will provide continuous education to LBC’s ground fleet to highlight the importance of road safety and courtesy when driving. The police will also provide anti-carnapping and anti-highway robbery seminars for LBC employees.

“With our fleet of 900 motorcycles and 600 vans, it would really help us if all our drivers are informed about the rules of the road and their rights as motorists,” says Gerard Payaoan, LBC Vice President for Global Systems Distribution and Delivery. “That’s why we are so glad with this partnership with the Highway Patrol Group.” 

For its part, LBC agreed to provide PNP-HPG with real-time information on all forms of criminal activity that their drivers may encounter while on the road. Drivers are also asked to be part of the HPG Rider Intelligence Network (RIN) so they can be partners in stopping crime on the road, like carnapping and highway robbery.

“This assistance that LBC is giving us is truly instrumental not only for us in the PNP Highway Patrol Group but also to our stakeholders: the members of the community,” says PC Supt. Arnold Gunnacao, PNP-HPG Director.

LBC has also agreed to adopt one of PNP-HPG’s training rooms in the agency’s Center for Road Safety and Security, and supply it with necessary equipment that will be utilized in conducting programmed and unprogrammed courses.

“Our part is to support the PNP-HPG in its effort to educate the public about the importance of road safety, and this is our contribution. With this, we hope that we can see better and safer roads for everyone,” concludes Payaoan.
