The challenge:

JTI tasked our agency with orchestrating the Nigeria launch of ASPEN & WINSTON Cigarettes, targeting internal teams, wholesalers, and key distributors across 18 cities. The objective was to maximize trade orders, reinforce brand positioning, and generate excitement while maintaining seamless execution across multiple locations simultaneously.

What we did:

We designed and executed a multi-city, high-impact launch, engaging 34 internal JTI employees and 1,080 wholesalers and distributors (60 per location). The event combined product showcases, interactive trade presentations, and irresistible promotional offers to drive bulk orders. Our team managed end-to-end event logistics, stock coordination, and real-time performance tracking, ensuring every location delivered a consistent premium brand experience sales order generation.

The Impact

The launch solidified Aspen & Winston’s brand presence in Nigeria, drove immediate trade conversions, and created measurable excitement among distributors. Through strategic trade engagement, operational precision, and performance-focused activations, the campaign elevated brand adoption, strengthened partner loyalty, and set a benchmark for nationwide FMCG launch events.
