Big brands have super powers; they can shine their light on thousands of people and truly inspire them. They do this through several means. Sometimes they do it with their core brand message/slogan. For example; Nike – just do it, or Infinix – the future is now. These messages are subtly infused into all of their communications, encouraging us all in different ways to do extraordinary things.
When it comes to the African clime, Infinix is one of the leading smartphone brands. According to Statcounter, the brand is currently ranked second in Nigeria based on mobile vendor market share.
Over the years, the smartphone brand has kept pace with its clear-cut mission to empower youths with cutting edge technology and inspire them to do more in their respective fields of interest.
Asides from inspiring its core fans through its brand message, Infinix has also been able to empower many Nigerians in areas like business and entertainment through several campaign activities.
Infinix adopts a youthful brand personality and has a clear appreciation for all aspects of pop culture including entertainment. Spawning from its interest in entertainment, Infinix has made it a point of duty to support unique up-coming talents in the industry.
The Nigerian entertainment industry booms with outstanding musical talents, a majority of whom are youths. Last year, Infinix held an electrifying concert at the University of Lagos, bringing together some of these outstanding talents. But more importantly, Infinix created a platform for over 40 upcoming artiste with distinctive talents to perform on the same stage with these high-profile musical acts.
