Everything I create in the digital space, anything I do in ABS-CBN will always be in the service of the Filipino,” said Lim.Lim joined ABS-CBN in June 2013.

He was the managing director of McCann’s digital arm MRM Manila before joining ABS-CBN.Now on its 35th year, the Agora Awards is the beacon of Filipino marketing excellence that spotlight admirable qualities of versatility, innovativeness and ingenuity.
