The Native Advertising Institute just announced that THE HUDDLE ROOM has won a Bronze in the 2017 Native Advertising Award for the category Best Use of Influencer for their National Book Store “Kris Faves and Finds” campaign featuring Kris Aquino.
Kris Aquino herself shared the good news via her social media page:
“It all started because i had to find a way, network tv was no longer open to me. i researched & knew that going online was an avenue i could try… With a brand new team, we knocked on doors- National Book Store was 1 of our 1st believers. Thank You God for this blessing! We’re back home & i saw a message from 1 of my life’s heaven sent angels, Xandra Ramos-Padilla… To all of you who could now be where i was at the start of 2017, questioning the how comes & the what ifs- take it from me: JKP- Just Keep Praying! Surround yourself w/ creative, positive, hardworking, loyal people, and don’t lose faith because as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” In all my years of working on tv & film- this is my first European recognition. It is all the more meaningful because it was a digital production done by our KCAP team w/ guidance from Huddle Room & it was a shoot I did w/ my bunso. Good morning from a very grateful believer in God’s wondrous ways. Kris”
The Kris Faves and Finds video is a concept developed by The Huddle Room for National Book Store.
