Can-do attitude
AS a child, Nikky Nicandro, president and chief executive officer of Brand Worx, dreamed of becoming a scientist, captivated by the mysteries of the universe.
«As I grew older, I envisioned myself as an actor, drawn to the art of storytelling and transformation,» Nicandro shared with The Manila Times. «But it wasn't until college that I discovered my true passion: advertising.»
«I was fascinated by the ability to merge strategy with creativity — to tackle complex business challenges and craft ideas that not only solve problems but also inspire and create lasting impact. There's something deeply fulfilling about using imagination to turn vision into reality, and that's where I found my purpose.»
