With “THE FUTURE IS NOW” as its brand essence, Infinix aims to empower today’s youth to stand out from the crowd and show the world who they are & what they stand for and that’s what they set out to achieve when they called for entries for the #PlayBigWithInfinixNote11Challenge.
With the launch of the Infinix Note 11 in 2021, the brand challenged its users to dare to play big in their respective fields and a social media challenge tagged #PlayBigWithInfinixNote11Challenge promised a ₦500, 000 cash prize for the winner.
Samson Omotosho’s participation in the #PlayBigWithInfinixNote11Challenge, which played a vital part in helping him reach career milestones in skating, made the Note series from Infinix an even larger deal than usual.
