This year’s celebration was no different. It kicked off on the 22nd of May with a series of witty conversations and milk puns on social media, telling Nigerians what it means to “catch cruise”. This was followed by a call out to Catch “TheMilkyCruise” by expressing love for milk in diverse creative ways.
As World Milk Day approached, the brand took it up a notch in a fun activity called “Milk’ o clock” with some influencers and brand ambassadors like Jaiye Kuti, Rachel Okonkwo, Mr Macaroni, Funnybone, Ric Hassani, Nengi, and Dr Kelechi Okoro ( The healthertainer) who asked fans and consumers questions at specific hours of the day, about milk and rewarded select people.
The brand also made room for offline activities with an in-store Milky Cruise activation at stores in Lagos like Spar on Victoria Island, Shoprite, Ikeja, Shoprite, Sangotedo and Just Rite, Abule- Egba, where everyone who purchased any brand of Milk received a gift from Dano.
To wrap it up, the brand organised a road cruise in Lagos, Ibadan and Port Harcourt with a branded vehicle and gave gifts to members of the public in marketplaces and neighbourhoods.
