Gloria’s fortification: a bash, a network, a networth
It was an evening of high profile networking as cutting-edge and upwardly mobile practitioners in Nigeria’s experiential marketing industry converged. The evening which ultimately drifted into the night was full of glitz, glamour and grandeur.
In the most dignified style, guests arrived in the attire that empowered them to put their best foot forward in order to create a sense of true connection with the event. Security confirmed IVs at the entrance and hostesses ushered in guests into the elegantly branded lounge with cocktail tables, red carpet and a sofa strategically positioned.
A jazz saxophonist regaled every guest by electrifying the ambience of the cocktail lounge with syncopated and familiar rhythms. It was purely experiential as everybody immersed themselves in the moment and at the same time connected with others while wining and snacking on finger foods.
The comic elements of the evening came to the fore when guests were ushered into the event hall. Seated in the celebratory atmosphere, all measured jokes resonated with the ecstatic audience in the cosy ambience of Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja.
Traditional music troupe played, while guests were captivated with a powerful display of acrobatics and tumbling. Meanwhile, the highpoint of the event was when the celebrant’s favourite gospel artist, Mercy Chinwo performed.
Resplendent, Gloria Ojeikhoa, the celebrant in her glittering gown walked into the hall where the ceiling halos shined brightly amidst a standing ovation. It was her 40th birthday and she looked every inch gorgeously fortified.
Gloria Otis Ojeikhoa is the adorable wife of Otis Ojeikhoa, the Managing Director of Brands Optimal, a leading experiential agency in Nigeria.
To appreciate his wife, create a high-value experience and build a deeper relationship with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Mr. Ojeikhoa organised the event and also surprised his lovely wife with the latest Honda Accord car, 2019 model as a birthday gift.
An overjoyed Gloria told MARKETING EDGE that she had always trusted and known that her husband would honour her.
“I have always known what he is capable of. I trust him. I have always known that a day like this would come. But this has exceeded my expectation. Words cannot convey my joy,” she said.
Upwardly mobile and trendy Otis, a maverick maven in the Nigerian experiential business said the celebration of his wife was the celebration of himself and his family.
“I am glad to have friends and well-wishers grace this occasion. I am not just celebrating my wife, I am also celebrating myself and my family because we are one,” he enthused.
It was an immersive luxury experience where industry practitioners and individuals from all walks of life mingled with other like-minded individuals while enjoying a voluntary camaraderie, as a kind of counter-balance to the hectic schedules that characterise Lagos life.
