Canon’s ‘Live for the Story’ campaign launches nationwide

Imaging solution vendor, Canon Central and North Africa have launched a nationwide ‘Live for the Story’ campaign. As part of the“Shoot-Remember-Share” ecosystem tied to Canon’s consumer- bound range of products, Canon has also carried out multiple roadshows and mall activations. 

In addition to this, Canon will be launching a photo competition with top musician and world-famous photographer/influencer TY Bello. The competition inspires people to celebrate their stories through imagery, ultimately capturing stories that define Nigeria through its people, culture and passion.

 “I am extremely excited to be part of this campaign, one which encourages Nigerians to share more stories, by capturing the essence of what being Nigeria means to them. #liveforthestory speaks to my identity first as a Nigerian and my brand as a professional photographer, by bringing untold stories to life through the lens of a camera,” said TY Bello.

Running for a duration of 1 month, participants are required to upload their stories on Instagram and Facebook while adding the hashtags #CanonCNA and #MyNaija as their captions. After compiling all the submissions, three winners will then be selected and awarded with a trip alongside TY Bello for a chance to create even more resonating stories.

“Born out of the belief that it’s so often the small occasions in life that bring meaningful memories, Canon wants to make sure it plays a part in the storytelling of all these moments for everyone. This competition which will commence today, the 28th of February 2018 for a duration of one month is a mere example of how eager we are to promote storytelling,” Explained Mai Youssef, European Corporate & Marketing Communications Director Canon.

Mai also added that the Live for the story campaign will inspire people to capture experiences, save memories and tell their own stories in a unique and memorable way. “As pioneers of imaging, one of our major targets is to engage our customers through this campaign to shoot, share, and remember their stories together with Canon,” he said.
