What’s sweeter than people celebrating talented African ‘pioneers’ who are rewriting the narrative of Africa and at the same time presenting an original song – an anthem for Africa? Well, Emirates just launched a new pan-African brand advertising campaign to do just that. The new campaign aims to not only celebrate the cultural rebirth taking over Africa but also pay tribute to a new generation of African transformers who against all odds make their mark globally through art, music, fashion and literature.
The new generation of talented African transformers which is now best placed to become cultural ambassadors for Africa to the world shares a common passion to bring their global outreach and influences to their own local journeys, as they discover what it means to be home.
Whilst the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) takes the lead in producing the series of short films for Emirates to take the message of a ‘modern Africa’ to the world, the latter uses the series to join the conversation and celebrate, inspiring stories of people constantly pushing boundaries and challenging African stereotypes while promoting the brand.
