Rite Foods Limited has used a birthday appreciation message from its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Seleem Adegunwa, to showcase its product portfolio, including its recently introduced non-alcoholic malt beverage, LIDA Malt.
The creative, highlighted by marketing and communications publication Marketing Edge, featured a playful caricature of Adegunwa holding a bottle of LIDA Malt while acknowledging the goodwill and birthday wishes he received.
The visual also incorporated references to BIGI, Fearless and LIDA Malt, alongside Ososa, Ogun State, where the company’s manufacturing operations are based.
According to Marketing Edge, the approach blended a personal expression of gratitude with brand storytelling, giving the company’s products visibility within a message that was not designed as a conventional advertisement.
LIDA Malt occupied a prominent position in the visual, providing an opportunity to draw attention to the new beverage while connecting it with the company’s wider brand portfolio.
The execution illustrates how companies can incorporate products and brand identity into everyday communication, using personal milestones and relatable experiences to engage audiences beyond traditional advertising.
For Rite Foods, the approach also provides an opportunity to introduce LIDA Malt to consumers while reinforcing awareness of its existing brands, BIGI and Fearless.
The company’s manufacturing operations in Ososa, Ogun State, further connected the creative to its Nigerian production base, linking its leadership, products and business identity in a single communication.
The development highlights the growing use of creative brand storytelling by fast-moving consumer goods companies seeking to maintain consumer attention in a competitive market.
