We are always in on building an experience around Heineken. Not just for the bottle or the can, but everything around it and fashion is an important part of that.”
Mark stressed the importance of technology in creating a platform for African designers to showcase their talents and making sure that creativity can flourish in the continent’s fashion industry through the Heineken Africa Inspired Fashion Challenge and the Lagos Fashion and Design Week which Heineken sponsors.
