- Verve’s ‘Truly African’ campaign to celebrate African ingenuity, entrepreneurism and business success across the continent -
Verve International (‘Verve’), the leading homegrown pan-African payment card brand, has launched ‘Verve, Truly African’, a new platform to celebrate Africa’s heritage and promote homegrown entrepreneurs and businesses.
The campaign kicked-off today at the Protea Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, and will over the next 3 months celebrate everything that makes Africa great, and give Africans the opportunity to showcase to the world their unique talent, skills and ideas. Events to look-out for include: Verve sponsorship of the African Magic Movies Choice Awards (AMVCA), the launch of a new TV commercial, and a social media campaign that asks Africans to tell the world about their aspirations and what it means to be African today.

Through this campaign we will be giving Africans everywhere the opportunity to showcase their unique talent.”
