WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

"Tanduay is already Number 1 worldwide in the rum category. We would like to thank and acknowledge Acumen for being part of this success."

Paul Lim
Marketing AVP
Tanduay

"We truly appreciate the thought leadership that Acumen provided on brand strategy, customer understanding, and go-to-market. We value the team’s convictions that balanced customer-centricity and business impact considerations. Our lively debates challenged us out of our bubble and comfort zone. Acumen's speed, flexibility and agility is also something we really appreciated. Perhaps the best reflection of our feedback is our intent to continue working with them moving forward."

Pepe Torres
CMO & MD for Consumer Business
PayMaya Philippines, Inc.

"Acumen's perspective really gave us a different angle. It was the jump off point that we needed. The full assessment that the engagement gave us plus the insights were crucial to the strategy we developed."

Cay Chavez

Segment Head

URC

"Acumen has helped us with real strategy. The opportunities, the insights but most especially those that we should not prioritize… at least right now. That’s what a real partner does. They give you the realities of your business, even if you’ve spent a year planning for it."

Raymund Villanueva

Director and Head of Business
PayMaya Philippines, Inc.

"Acumen's target market understanding as well as their perspective on other opportunities for the business were very helpful. I also appreciate the team's perspective on strategy and how they challenged some of our initial directions. Overall, I believe this worked to point us in the right direction."

Cristina Buenaventura
Brand Strategist

PayMaya Philippines, Inc.

Kirk Amante
Category Manager
Alaska Milk Corporation

"Thank you to Acumen for giving us so much more that what we were expecting form this workshop engagement. Aside from providing the design and templates [for the workshop], and facilitation, they also helped refine the thinking and the output of each session."
