Social Media Week TGIF: Soiree, Networking & Karaoke Event!

As part of the grand finale events of the Social Media Week February 2015, Social Media Week TGIF held on February 27 at N-TYCE Lounge.

It was deliberately woven to deliver an exciting, engagingly good time, culminating in an unforgettable February experience, turning out to be the perfect climax for a whole week of bonding, sharing and learning. It was a delightful soiree of karaoke and invigorating entertainment, and an opportunity for the professionals of the connected class the perfect way to network.

 

The event was organized by one of Nigeria’s fast emerging digital advertising agencies, Imaginarium Creative. In his opening keynote address, the team leader of Imaginarium- Ferdinand ‘Ladi Adimefe said that the purpose of the event was to provide an opportunity to release work tensions, engender greater social interactions by bridging the gap between upwardly mobile brands that have used connectivity to revolutionize how we buy, what we do and how we live.

He recognized that the creative industries are on a fast lane and conversations that will deepen the understanding of the sector and help young entrepreneurs find common grounds and compare notes will be invaluable. This is the first part of the creative evening that the company hopes to push on a monthly basis.
