Speaking to the entire experience, Mark Mugisha, the Marketing, and Innovations Director Guinness Nigeria expressed his elation for the Athletes, their optimism and re-emphasized the brand’s commitment to empowering creative talents, driving inclusivity, celebrating excellence, and creating moments in culture through the ongoing Black Shines Brightest campaign. This extraordinary occasion falls in line with our Black Shines Brightest campaign and mantra, a commitment to spotlight, celebrate and inspire black beacons across all creative walks of life. And as a brand, we strongly champion equality and inclusivity as is evident in both our hiring process and brand communications. We have taken giant strides towards ensuring that the right spotlight is beamed on women, this year alone we’ve hosted a month-long celebration of women, the Hertitude fest (a women-only event), the August meeting and now, Nigerian Athletes who Shine Brightest. These are just a few memorable steps on the Guinness journey with women in culture.
Since the launch of Black Shines Brightest, Guinness Nigeria has remained committed to spotlighting and celebrating exceptional black beacons across several cultural touchpoints including art, music, and sports.
