“&FRIENDS as a brand is a celebration of modern pop culture as a whole – gaming, music, lifestyle… and the creators and communities surrounding them,” says Justin Banusing, CEO of Clout Kitchen, the organizers of &FRIENDS Festival. “The Philippines is one of the epicentres of fandom in the world, and it just made sense to kick-off the brand here in the country where we started.”
