Did you ever write a letter to your teacher about your crush?
Did it just end as a crush or it went more than that?
Did you enjoy it?
Did you tell anyone about it?
Did you believe it would last forever?
Could you have married your teacher?
Well, let's hear Soonest I Nathaniel tell us about his letter to his Aunty :).
Soonest I Nathaniel (SIN) doing a Spoken Word Poetry piece titled, "Letter to my Aunty," at WORD UP Volume 3 aka Da Love Thang which held on February 16, 2013 in Lagos, Nigeria.
WORD UP is the biggest Spoken Word Poetry event in Nigeria. It features A-list Spoken Word Poets on the same stage.
Truth
be told, nothing sells a brand faster than Experiential Marketing.
Picture
this: it's 3:00 pm on a Saturday
evening.
A hall full of
people applauds as their eyes stay glued to the stage. There is anticipation in
the air. The excitement is palpable. Adding the needed colour and glamour all
across the hall is the Brand behind the excitement. The people lose their
voices as “he” steps on the stage. They influence, persuade, tweet, retweet and
share their experience over social media, while others try to make their way to
the venue even as your brand meets them at every point. They can’t wait to hear
the sound of “The internationally renowned spoken word artiste,” on the shores
on Nigeria for the first time. They can’t wait for YOUR BRAND, to
make this happen.
