Wazzup Pilipinas!

They say behind every great design is an even bigger story. The design is actually the silent ambassador of our brands. The cooler the design, the more it engages our customers.

Huawei recently launched their latest flagship smartphone alongside two other models at the Huawei Mate 8 on the second day of March 2016 at an event held at the Solaire Grand Ballroom in Pasay city.

With hashtags #TheNewChoice, #NewBusinessStyle #HuaweiMate8 for the day, the brand also introduced 8 ambassadors representing the business elites who challenge status quo, act with passion and persistence, and find new solutions as they define and flaunt the new style of business.

The new breed of business elites are Rajo Laurel, Apples Aberin, Victor Consunji, Sid Maderazo, Jessica Kienle, Gaby dela Merced, Rosebud Benitez and Kelley Mangahas. They were all given a few minutes to share on stage why they switched to the new Huawei smartphones for their kind of lifestyle. I will be releasing a video soon featuring the highlights of the event so watch for it soon here or at our YouTube channel at http://www.YouTube.com/user/wazzuppilipinas.

Jojo Vega, Huawei Consumer Business Director, says they are now the 2nd biggest smartphone brand in Europe. Domestically, Huawei was able to double revenues last year, and was able to expand market share by almost 500% in just less than a year. The brand invest 10% of its revenue in research and development so it can always come up with cutting edge products. The new style of business will be the big story that will evolve in all their launches this year.

Another slide shows how the journey will be hard but joyful. He ends with a slide about the Tortoise and the Hare and compares it with ourselves, the new generation, and lastly ends with their slogan "Once Huawei starts, we will never, never stop."
