Exactly 86 years after it rolled out the first bottle in a Malayan brewery, a territory now known as Singapore, premium Asian Beer, Tiger Lager Beer, finally launched in Nigeria with style.
The Tiger launch campaign tagged #Uncage: the courage to challenge convention, showcased the courageous, bold and go-getting side of Nigerians, encouraging people across all divides to ‘uncage’ courage and the tiger within them in pursuit of their dreams and passions.
Ahead of the launch, a number of celebrated Nigerians took to social media to talk about their fear of heights, which symbolically represents other crippling true-life stories of fear, limitations and doubt. Some of these celebrities included Nollywood star Deyemi Okanlawon, former Big Brother Naija housemate TBoss, Skinny Girl in Transit actress Abimbola Craig, media girls Maria Okanrede and Mimi Onalaja, who all shared inspiring stories of how they overcame fears and uncaged their inner tiger.
The 3-day launch event, which held at the Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, also had guests and attendees witness a virtual jungle called The Tiger Den, a jungle like experience of simulating an encounter with a ferocious tiger complemented with thrilling music, sound effects and life-like scenery. There, participants tested their courage and enjoyed a ‘real life’ Tiger experience.
