The brunch welcomed key leaders from CHI Limited, including Managing Director Eelco Weber and Chief Commercial Officer Adebola Arotiowa, who mingled with a curated crowd of food creators, lifestyle influencers, media executives, family advocates, and dairy enthusiasts.

Hosts Enioluwa and Simi Sanya infused the day with energy and laughter, setting a lively tone as guests enjoyed a charming brunch spread. Hollandia’s delicious dairy products, including UHT Milk, Lactose-Free Milk, and Vanilla Yoghurt, were featured in creative takes on brunch classics, complemented by refreshing Chivita mocktails and cocktails.

A standout moment of the event was the Milk Foam Art Workshop, where an expert barista transformed cups of coffee into edible masterpieces.

Interactive stations also added to the excitement, including a dairy-inspired mixologist booth and a live Chef Cupid cooking experience, which showcased innovative ways to incorporate dairy into both sweet and savory dishes.

In her closing remarks, Marketing Services Manager Barbara Onianwah announced an upcoming e-commerce initiative aimed at enhancing influencer engagement. The platform she says will provide influencers with unique discount codes for consumers, “Influencers whose codes generate the highest purchase volumes will be duly rewarded.”
The initiative, Barbara says is designed to foster influencer engagement, encourage consumer participation, and drive sales through digital word-of-mouth.
