S&R Membership Shopping Cagayan de Oro: June 2016 Progress Update
Ten years in flight. Still climbing.
We started in the sky.
Project LUPAD took flight on June 6, 2016 as a drone-first media platform. Our audience grew past a million. Then brands, hotels, schools and governments asked us to tell their stories. Today we are a full-service creative studio, with the craft of a production house and the reach of a media platform.
/lu·pad/ verb — Visayan for “to fly.”Moments that shaped us.
Ten years of flights, firsts and recognition, from one drone to a stage of millions.
