Globe starts Project Wonderful

Globe Telecom threads its corporate social responsibility efforts, corporate culture and branding activities together in a company-wide initiative dubbed Project Wonderful.The company was prompted to launch the project during the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda when Globe took part with relief efforts via Bangon Pinoy. The CSR effort was later organized and expanded into three "pillars" – namely, “nation-building” for CSR, “culture-building” for creating a customer-centric organizational culture and “brand building.”The telco kicks off the official launch of Project Wonderful with a colorful 47-second spot now airing on national TV, created by UK-based creative agency Heavenly and Publicis Manila.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbnMTziYQ4The video ends with the copy “Creating a Wonderful World,” which Marketing confirmed is Globe’s new brand catchphrase that actually speaks more about what the telco stands for than a mere ploy for name recall.In addition to Bangon Pinoy, the nation-building pillar will oversee programs that will rebuild homes and schools and provide livelihood opportunities especially for families and people affected by natural disasters. "We are in it for the long haul, together with our partners and employees, who share our advocacy and spirit of volunteerism,” Globe Telecom CEO Ernest Cu said.Cu stressed that an active role in nation building starts within the company.
