Opera (www.Opera.com)
is kicking off a partnership with football professional Victor Moses,
Chelsea starter and Nigerian national team star player. Moses will be
the brand ambassador of Opera Mini (http://APO.af/oO85qy), the most popular browser in Africa. Starting today, Moses will be featured in the new Opera Mini TV commercial (http://APO.af/sDJKir) as well as a range of collaborative projects extending throughout 2018.
“Football
is one of the most popular types of content consumed by Opera Mini
users throughout Africa”, says Jørgen Arnesen, Global Head of Marketing
and Distribution at Opera. “Victor Moses is a perfect match for Opera,
being not only a high performer, but also a great role model and natural
ambassador of his home country Nigeria.”
This coincides with Opera’s recent announcement to invest $100 million USD (30 billion Nigerian nairas) in Africa (http://APO.af/bPD736) over the next two years with the goal of strengthening the internet ecosystem in countries such as Nigeria.
Nigeria is home to the second largest population of Opera Mini (http://APO.af/oO85qy)
users. Search, social networking and sport are the most popular content
consumed by Opera Mini users in this country. One fourth of them check
out live scores and sports news when browsing. This number is relatively
higher than the ones in other African countries.
On the topic of
the recent partnership, Victor Moses states, “I am proud to be in
partnership with Opera and am looking forward to working together. The
Opera team have taken me through their plans and vision for the brand in
the Nigerian market and it's made me incredibly excited about the
future. I'm delighted to be a part of such a groundbreaking campaign.”
Opera
recently launched its first nationwide TV and radio commercials to
announce a faster and more affordable internet experience with the Opera
Mini browser. Already airing in South Africa and Kenya, there will be a
special version for Nigeria. Victor Moses will be challenging his
on-field speed against Opera Mini’s.
