One of COMCO Mundo's key growth initiatives is COMCO Southeast Asia - Singapore, its Singapore-based strategic communications agency established to strengthen COMCO Mundo’s presence in one of Asia's leading business and innovation centers.
The Singapore office brings together strategic thinking, integrated storytelling and digital-led solutions to help brands and organizations navigate complex communications challenges across the market.
The Singapore team, headed by Ampy Corpus, Managing Director & Head / Partner of COMCO SEA SG, has supported regional communications initiatives for global and regional brands, demonstrating COMCO Mundo’s ability to connect market-specific insights with broader regional strategies.
Its work has included communications for Lubrizol’s Southeast Asia Innovation Center, as well as social creative campaigns for WWF Singapore, including its fifth anniversary partnership with Agoda. The team also supported Crypto Fight Night through an op-ed pitch for Co-Founder Rahul Suri, resulting in a feature exploring how cultural experiences can help drive mass adoption of Web3. For The Ocean Cleanup, the team supported regional communications efforts to address river plastic pollution and protect Southeast Asia’s seas and water systems.
COMCO Middle East & Africa
Further extending COMCO Mundo’s international footprint is COMCO Middle East & Africa (COMCO MEA), established in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the group’s strategic presence in the Middle East and Africa market.
Led by Tricia Cusi-Jimenea, senior vice president for business development and managing director & head/partner & co-founder of COMCO MEA has built a diverse portfolio of clients since its establishment in 2021 across hospitality, food and beverage, entertainment, fashion, real estate, education and technology, working with brands and organizations including Costa Coffee, Paramount Hotels, Café Kitsuené, The Wizarding World Shop by Fandom, LEOS Development, Rixos, Taj Exotica, Dubai Comic Con and Geidea, among others.
These engagements showcase its ability to operate across different market environments while creating locally relevant storytelling for global, regional and emerging brands.
In addition, COMCO Mundo is able to work beyond the markets where it currently operates through its established network of partners and pool of providers. Beyond expanding its geographical presence, these initiatives strengthen the organization's ability to support brands and organizations through regional expertise, cross-market collaboration and integrated communications capabilities, connecting local insights with opportunities across the globe.
Together, SEA CAN Alliance by COMCO Mundo, COMCO Southeast Asia - Singapore and COMCO Middle East & Africa reflect COMCO Mundo's journey from a boutique communications agency in the Philippines to an intercontinental communications group operating in Southeast Asia to the Middle East & Africa and beyond.
“Reaching Decada de COMCO, or our 10th anniversary, is a meaningful milestone, but it is also a reminder that our journey is far from over," said Ferdinand L. Bondoy, COMCO Mundo’s interregional president & group chief executive and head of global & strategic communications/partner & co-Founder.
"What began as a Filipino-led communications vision has grown into a network that reaches across borders, and we see this expansion as the beginning of many more years of growth, collaboration and meaningful storytelling. As we enter our second decade, we remain committed to building bridges across markets, creating opportunities for our partners and stakeholders and bringing the strength of our communications excellence to the global stage," Bondoy added.
United by one vision, the COMCO Squadron from Southeast Asia to the Middle East & Africa, continues to grow, connect and make an impact across borders.
