Lloyd Tronco is a stalwart in outdoor advertising in the Philippines.
His first brush with outdoor advertising and Out-Of-Home media, started
30 years ago having grown up in a family business which provided
billboard space in the Visayas and Mindanao. Having worked his way up in
the family business, he became the General Manager of Tronco
Advertising, a company based in Bacolod by 1994.
In 2001, when Out-Of-Home media began gaining popularity in the
Philippines due to the advent of digital tarpaulin printing, Lloyd
Tronco was hired by McCann Erickson Philippines’ media unit,
UniversalMcCann to be part of a team specializing in out-of-home media.
At UniversalMcCann, he handled the Out-Of-Home media requirements of the
agency including that of Coca-Cola, Cathay Pacific, Mastercard, Philip Morris, and
Globe Telecom, until early 2005.
Following the stint with UniversalMcCann, he set up a consultancy
which developed the business of OOH media vendors and at the same time
serving the Out-Of-Home media needs of various media agencies. He
currently heads the Philippine Center for Out-Of-Home Media Research and
Science (PhilCourse), which is the repository for information on the
OOH media industry.
