Recently, Periwinkle Residences Limited, a real estate investment and development firm, unveiled Nigeria’s Reality TV show stars and ‘BBN Lockdown edition duo’, Ozoemena Joseph Chukwu and Nengi Rebecca Hampson, as its newest ambassadors, raising expectations among market watchers.
The slowdown in the economy and the need for investors/developers to remain in business, has given rise to innovation and creativity in real estate business, especially in the area of branding and marketing of products. Adoption of celebrities as brand ambassadors is gaining traction as marketing gimmick.

The duo have exciting and vivacious personalities which, in addition to their large social media following, are expected to help drive the Periwinkle brand higher and reposition its investment profile.
Ozo and Nengi are not new to the Periwinkle brand having invested in one of the developer’s most iconic projects, Oxygen Apartments, which is arguably the most luxurious residential apartment in Lekki Phase 1.
“Signing two brand ambassadors was expedient and a strategic move to increase our brand awareness and also reposition our luxury products and services in line with fresh challenges in Nigeria’s real estate sector,” Chiedu Nweke, CEO of the company, noted at the unveiling event.
The brand ambassadors expressed joy and delight in their remarks, describing the agreement signing as another milestone in their career path and stated that it was a pleasure Periwinkle Residences names BBN duo new Ambassadors
