TANSALITES REE D and VAN VICKER SIGN ENDORSEMENT DEALS WITH GLO
By Jane bond
There has been a rumour for months
that Globacom signed up Nollywood and Gollywood actors to become
ambassadors for the brand. Van Vicker has been participating in
the Glo Rock and Rule tour for months but had not signed on to
become an ambassador until now.
When contacted, Rita Dominic would
not confirm nor deny the good news. However, some soft sell
magazines are already reporting that she along with Kate Henshaw,
Desmond Elliot and Mike Ezuruonye were spotted recently entering
Digitrack Studios in TBS Lagos Island where Glo was purportedly
conducting a photo shoot.
Actress Uche Jombo may have confirmed the rumours when she uploaded her picture taken at the photo shoot to her Facebook Profile. Other confirmed Ambassadors are Ramsey Nouah, Nnoso Diobi, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha, Funke Akindele who recently starred in the blockbuster comedy JENIFA, Ini Edo-Ehigwina who was added just a few weeks ago and Mona Lisa Chinda. The deal is rumoured to be for 2 years and will cost the company billions of Naira.
Apart from Gollywood's Van Vicker,
it is rumoured that the Company is currently in negotiations with
Jackie Appiah and Nadia Buari to represent the brand.
Globacom has opened up operations in Ghana and is looking
to expand business by signing these bankable stars who are
popular all over Africa.
Globacom has shown its commitment
to Africa through these deals and we hope that fellow Tansalites
wish them well.
