Giants of Africa: The Built Within Tour
The Giants of Africa Festival 2023 brought together 250 youths from 16 African countries for a groundbreaking celebration of basketball, culture, and empowerment.
The accompanying social media campaign organically extended the festival’s reach, uniting African youth across the continent with the empowering message of “Dream Big.” By leveraging Instagram and TikTok, the campaign captured raw, emotional moments from the festival, creating a digital extension that connected attendees and remote audiences alike.
With a TikTok launch mid-festival and a high posting volume on Instagram, the campaign generated:
- 1.1M organic impressions
- 373K video views
- 63K engagements on Instagram
- While TikTok garnered 500K views and over 60K likes—all without any paid media.
Through authentic content and real-time engagement, the campaign succeeded in amplifying the festival’s impact, raising awareness of Giants of Africa’s mission, and inspiring youth across the continent. This powerful, all-organic campaign created a lasting sense of unity and empowerment for African youth.
