history

Started in 1989

by its founder and PR guru, Charlie Agatep, Agatep Associates, Inc. became a major force in both public relations and advertising in no time. A perennial winner at annual award shows like the Anvil for close to a decade, the company later joined forces with multinational advertising heavyweight Euro RSCG and established EURO RSCG Partnership Philippines in 1998, which was re-branded as Havas Worldwide Manila in 2012. Today, this tradition of unwavering excellence and passion goes by the name of Grupo Agatep.
