Davido bags endorsement deal

Davido 1

By Christian Agadibe

Singer and songwriter, Davido, has been named the brand ambassador of Maison Martell and its new “Standout Swift”.

Davido, whose real name is David Oyeleke, will become an international ambassador for Cognac House with which he shares a sense of freedom and audacity. This, the brand said, would pave the way for others and create a legacy for future generations.

For Martell, a “Standout Swift” is someone who challenges convention and opens the way for others – and Davido certainly has that power. “Davido and Martell is above all the story of an encounter.

“Davido is fired by the same creative energy as Martell. His songs are a way for him to express his unique talent and his bold personality to speak for his generation,” says César Giron, CEO of Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët.

Responding to his endorsement, Davido said: “I am proud to go on this incredible adventure with Martell, as I know we are pursuing the same goal: opening the way for others, each within our own creative field. We share the same idea that we rise by lifting others.

“Through my songs, I want to show the new generation that anything is possible. That’s what I love about Martell’s history and expertise: the capacity to continually reinvent tradition.”

The new Martell Blue Swift campaign featuring Davido will be unveiled later this year.
