With winners spanning nine markets and eight categories, the ad was revealed as number two among the Top 10 TV ads at the Kantar Creative Effectiveness Awards 2022.

The winning ads were defined qualitatively and quantitatively, with the awards celebrating those which were most impactful in building brands, driving sales and increasing long-term equity. Commenting on this feat, Lanre Odutola (Creative Content Manager, Martell) said.

“This execution was specifically created for the Nigerian market; it is deeply anchored in local culture, featuring Davido (Afrobeats Icon & humanitarian), whose own ethos; ‘we rise by lifting others’ mirrors Martell’s ‘audacity shapes legacy.

This ad brings to life Martell’s brand purpose – standing out from the crowd by redefining the status quo, and we believe Davido and what he represents is the very definition of a Standout Swift.”
