A total of 12 groups participated, however the concept from the winning team consisting of Joseph Poh Shou Heng, Zuaipy Fariqa Santiago, Wang Shi Wen, proved to be the strongest. Dynamic, modern and sophisticated, the students successfully answered a brief with a viable concept that not only told a captivating story but also captured the brand DNA. The winning team received SGD 1,000 and the chance to realize their concept into actual visual, digital assets by working closely with PEDRO's creative team.
