The Marketing Manager of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr. Abiodun Ayodeji has disclosed that the connection between Cowbell brand and Mathematics competition has deepened over the years that the participating students, their parents and other stakeholders connected with the initiative have become the company’s brand ambassadors.
Ayodeji, who spoke with journalists at the finals of this year’s Cowbellpedia Mathematics Secondary Schools TV Quiz show in Lagos, explained that Promasidor started the project 20 years ago to engage “our consumers in a structured way and also, give back to the society that we operate in.”
He added that the Cowbellpedia initiative was launched on education, which is a significant legacy where every parent wants his children or ward to succeed. “For us, the motivation has been that by doing this, we are touching an important area in our consumers’ lives and the reaction from consumers regarding brand acceptance has been positive,” he added.
According to him, cowbellpedia has become an effective platform that has entrenched cowbell brand in the minds of consumers from generation to generation.
Meanwhile, as this years’ Cowbellpedia Mathematics competition came to a glorious end last weekend in Lagos, Akinfoluhan Akinleye from The Ambassadors College, Ota, Ogun State and Chinedu Mgbemena, a student of Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State emerged the champions in the junior and senior categories respectively.
