FLASHMOB KICK STARTS MALTINA DANCE ALL SEASON 7

It was indeed a breathtaking spectacle recently at the atrium of the
Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island Lagos when unsuspecting movie
goers, shop owners and shoppers alike witnessed the sudden emergence
of a group of colourfully dressed dancers who delighted them with
dexterous dance moves.
The dancers gave a sublime performance
depicting dance styles from the 1960's to the current dance era. It
was an ingenious flashmob deftly executed by Maltina, the premium
non-alcoholic malt drink from the stable of Nigerian Breweries plc to
herald the commencement of the 2013 edition of popular family reality
TV show, Maltina Dance All season 7 aptly tagged "The Evolution".

Speaking after the flashmob presentation Mr. Edem Vindah, Corporate
Media and Brand PR manager who was representing Mr. Ageni Yusuf,
Corporate Affairs Adviser, Nigerian Breweries plc said "the dance
performance we have just seen is a tip of the iceberg from this season
of Maltina Dance All. As we all know, it is the foremost experiential
and sponsorship platform of the Maltina brand renowned for promoting
togetherness with friends and loved ones. The TV show, which made its
debut in 2007, has remained Nigeria's first and only family dance TV
show featuring families from various regions across the country".

He added that the show is "about the emotions, excitement, fun and the
unbreakable bond that ten families will showcase when they challenge
themselves by learning and performing various dance styles from the
70's, 80's, 90's and to the present day in the famous Maltina Dance
All academy. This is going to be evolution of dance from time past to
the present. The winning family will go home with the grand prize of a
whooping sum of N6 million and of course, a brand new car. The first
and second runners up will also get N1 million and N500, 000
respectively. The show will bring to the fore, the Nigerian people's
essence and values of sharing, happiness unity, cooperation, vitality
and creativity".

Also speaking, Mrs. Ngozi Nkwoji, Senior Brand Manager Maltina stated
that building any brand is a very long journey, "We are glad with
where we are with Maltina today. We are very excited about the 7th
season of MDA, 7 years is a long time for a show to still be relevant
and we're very glad Maltina through MDA continues to bring the brand
experience of sharing happiness and fun to the consumer.  The MDA
Evolution is something not to be missed. We put a lot of work into it.
Every year there is something bigger and better. What we are doing
with Maltina Dance All is to "share happiness" and to also create more
emotional connection with consumers because families and dance are two
winning components in the Nigerian environment. Nigerians love to
dance. Maltina is continuously nourishing millions of Nigerians. It's
still the most fortified malt drink in the market. It's also the
biggest malt brand in the market. For this year 2013, we already have
MDA 7 the Evolution; we also shared happiness this year at the Lagos
Carnival. We have a couple of surprises for our consumers as the year
goes by"
