Why cultural strategy is outperforming viral campaigns in Africa

One notable example of a brand tapping into this cultural shift is Prime Video. When the global streaming platform entered the Nigerian market, it wasn't just aiming for viewership numbers. It was looking to establish cultural relevance. To achieve this, Prime Video partnered with Pulse, a media and marketing company with deep roots in youth culture across Africa. The result was a series of culturally resonant marketing executions that met audiences at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and local nuance. Among the standout initiatives: A four-city roadshow that brought the brand physically closer to its audiences. High-profile premieres that doubled as real-time content opportunities.
