Strategic communications agency Comm&Sense, Inc. marked its 20th anniversary with another industry recognition after being named 2nd Runner-Up for Agency of the Year at the 22nd Philippine Quill Awards organized by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines.
The recognition marks Comm&Sense’s sixth consecutive Agency of the Year nomination since 2019, extending a run that has seen the agency receive the distinction in five of those years.
“To be nominated for Agency of the Year for six consecutive years is a testament to the consistency, passion, and discipline of our entire team,” Comm&Sense President Andres ‘Andy’ Saracho said.
The agency previously finished 1st Runner-Up for Agency of the Year at the 2022 Quill Awards and 2nd Runner-Up in 2024.
Aside from its Agency of the Year recognition, Comm&Sense took home five trophies at this year’s awards, consisting of four Excellence Awards and one Merit Award.
Comm&Sense Managing Director Charlotte Reyes attributed the results to the agency’s approach of combining research and data with storytelling.
“These achievements are proof that our approach in strategic communication — combining rich data and meaningful insights with authentic human storytelling — continues to deliver work that turns insights into impact and generates tangible business results,” Reyes said.
She also credited the agency’s employees and clients for the recognition.
“These honors belong to our hardworking team and our forward-thinking client partners who trust us to take bold, insight-led approaches. From research data to campaign execution, our focus remains clear: turning meaningful insights into lasting impact,” Reyes added.
Now in its 20th year, Comm&Sense focuses on data-backed communications strategies, creative execution and storytelling for its clients.
Its executives are also active in professional organizations in the communications industry. Saracho is a two-term president of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) and an Accredited in Public Relations professional, while Reyes currently serves as a board trustee of IABC Philippines.
Reyes, Saracho and two other Comm&Sense executives were also among practitioners from various agencies who served as official evaluators for this year’s Philippine Quill Awards.
