By Felicia Nwosu
It was fun and entertainment at its best, amidst pomp and fanfare at the MARKETING EDGE two-in-one annual Christmas Funfest held at the company’s premises on 21 December, 2021 in Lagos. For children and adults within the state, MARKETING EDGE’s Christmas Funfest has become an anticipated annual tradition for ushering in the Christmas celebration since its inception.
The annual Funfest, according to the organisers, is a two-phase event, where children from diverse background meet, interact and have fun and other educational activities from 12.00 noon – 3.00PM, while adults take over the stage from 3.00PM to unwind, interact and network for business in the incoming year.
The MARKETING EDGE 2021 colourful funfest lived up to its billing as children had endless fun filled with various interesting activities. This year’s edition featured interesting side attractions such as Mascots, dance and quiz competition, fashion parade, song presentations and many more.
The 2021 funfest was specially supported by global leading family-centric brands such as Coca-Cola, Lacasera, 7UP, Eat ‘N’GO, Kelloggs, Molfix, McVitie’s and Amber energy drink.
Some of the children who shared their happy moments described it as exciting and memorable, while hinting that they look forward to next year’s edition.
12 year old Nifemi Matesun, who won the dance competition in the boys group, said he is very excited and promised himself that, he will not miss out in any event organised by MARKETING EDGE going forward.
“I am very happy and excited because I had fun and also won in two of the competitions in the boys group. I won the dance competition and also the fashion parade. I am going home with lots of gifts. I am grateful to MARKETING EDGE and I have told my mummy that I don’t want to miss next year’s party.”
The children phase of the funfest came to a climax with Santa Claus presenting gift items to the children courtesy of the partnering companies.
For the adults, the cool evening brought back some happy old memories as the atmosphere was filled with nostalgic old school music to convey the message of love which is the reason for the season. Some of the parents also commended MARKETING EDGE and all the sponsors, adding that they were glad to witness the event and not being told about it.
Chima Johnson, one of the parents who came with his children, stated that he was glad that he brought his children.
“In fact, the party was full of fun and excitement, not just for me but also for the children. I was surprised with the huge amounts of gifts they received from the party. My two daughters said they really enjoyed themselves.”
In his goodwill message, John Ajayi, Publisher/ MD MARKETING EDGE, expressed his profound appreciation to the sponsors, friends and well wishers of MARKETING EDGE who made the 2021 funfest a resounding success.
In its strategic vision for expansion and growth, MARKETING EDGE has recently moved out from No. 11 Fadeyi Aladura Street, and is now located at No.25 Oritshe Street, Off Balogun Bus Stop, Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, Lagos.
