33” Export, a Nigerian breweries beer brand at the forefront of promoting the spirit of friendship, will be celebrating the World Friendship Day with consumers and their loved ones with its flagship consumer engagement activity the “City Of Friends.” This was announced at a well-attended press conference event at the company’s corporate headquarters yesterday in Lagos.
Over the past couple of months, “33” Export Lager Beer has been on a mission of deepening friendships and spreading the gospel of love through its signatory friendship parties. With a number of successful friendship parties under their belt, “33” Export is taking the initiative to a whole new level with the “City Of Friends” initiative, which is in its second year.
The 2-day event holding in Calabar and Lagos will build on what has been a thriving platform through which the brand promotes love and friendships while helping Nigerians to create beautiful memories that transcend normal day-to-day relationships.
The “City of Friends” parties will also see top performances from some of Nigeria’s biggest artistes including 9ice, Kizz Daniel, Small Doctor, Alabi Pasuma, Simi, Phyno, Harrysong, Mc Gordons and Mc Shakara.
This 2018 edition will also have a few more side attractions like the Pendown for friendship contest, which will see writers compete for a grant to study some selected courses at any media and communications institute of their choice in Nigeria.
This edition of “City of Friends” will be a combination of music, entertainment and creative writing to offer a whole new experience and to appeal to an even wider demographic.
