The Huddle Room wins advertising award in Berlin

The Huddle Room Media Inc. has won a bronze medal under the Best Use of Influencer category for its National Book Store campaign entitled "Kris Faves and Finds" during ceremonies held in Berlin, Germany last November 9.

Television and movie personality Kris Aquino said that she was thrilled about her first European recognition.

"It all started because i had to find a way, network tv was no longer open to me. I researched & knew that going online was an avenue i could try," said Aquino on Instagram.

"With a brand new team, we knocked on doors- @nbsalert was 1 of our 1st believers. Thank You God for this blessing! We’re back home & i saw a message from 1 of my life’s heaven sent angels, @xandraramos...

"To all of you who could now be where i was at the start of 2017, questioning the how comes & the what ifs- take it from me: JKP- Just Keep Praying! Surround yourself w/ creative, positive, hardworking, loyal people, and don’t lose faith because as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

"😇 In all my years of working on tv & film- this is my first European recognition. It is all the more meaningful because it was a digital production done by our KCAP team w/ guidance from Huddle Room & it was a shoot I did w/ my bunso. 🤗 Good night from a very grateful believer in God’s wondrous ways. ❤️💛💚💙💜🌈"
