Colgate’s strategic involvement with The Nigerian Idol this year serves as a moving reminder of the brand’s commitment to strengthening the entertainment industry through this pivotal partnership with The Nigerian Idol. Analysts recognise this as a unique step in nurturing young talents and propelling them to superstardom in their respective music genres.

Beyond Nigerian Idol, Colgate has a proven track record of inspiring young people in the entertainment industry. This partnership is just the latest chapter in their ongoing commitment to helping budding talents reach their full potential.

In 2020, Colgate partnered with the popular reality show Big Brother Naija for their Lockdown season. The collaboration included the ‘Colgate Smile Challenge’ and a year’s supply of Colgate products among other prizes for the winner.

Besides entertainment, Colgate has actively supported many causes that have brought great benefits to young people. Last year, to mark World Oral Health Day, Colgate and Nigerian Youth Service Corp (NYSC) took to the streets simultaneously across 15 regions in Nigeria to sensitize the public on the importance of good oral hygiene. The brand also offered free dental check-ups and products as part of their community outreach.

When the brand flagged off its thematic campaign tagged “Calcium in, Cavities out” in 2020, It massively highlighted the significance of calcium to dental health on Television, Radio, digital, and OOH platforms. The campaign propelled many Nigerians to take their dental health more seriously by keeping up with a comprehensive oral hygiene routine.

Colgate is a brand from the stable of Colgate Tolaram LFTZ Enterprise, a strategic joint venture of Colgate-Palmolive Company and Tolaram Group. The Joint Venture has brought innovative oral care; personal care and home care products to consumers across Nigeria and beyond.
