As part of “33” Lager Beer’s commitment to promote and deepen friendship among Nigerians, the brand launched the #33ThatOneFriend campaign asking several social media users to share stories to celebrate that one friend who has impacted their lives and is an example of true friendship, for a chance to win exciting prizes.
While thousands of people shared inspiring friendship stories, ten stories, which also garnered the highest engagement, stood out.
