Arla Dano®, a farmer-owned company and major player in the global dairy space kickstarted this year’s campaign tagged ‘9jaMilkFest’ on it’s social media handles with teasers and a friendly call on competitor and complementary brands to join them in the quest to nourish Nigeria. The campaign was driven on the heels of this year’s global World Milk Day theme “Enjoy Dairy; It’s Good Nutrition” as the brand leveraged on this theme to enjoin Nigerians to enjoy dairy.
