Colorful Adventure with Ipanema Selfeet

  Remember my post about the Ipanema SM North Annex branch opening and #IpanemaSelfeet launch? I had a blast during the event because as a flip-flop lover, I was wowed by wide array of designs and the comfort that Ipanema has in store for all of us.

     As selfie fever takes over the Philippines and with the country even named as one of the “selfie” capitals of the world, Brazilian flip-flop brand Ipanema, puts an exciting twist to the global phenomenon with #IpanemaSelfeet – a campaign that challenges everyone to take their own selfeets.

     The #IpanemaSelfeet campaign was launched at Ipanema’s newest store in SM North Edsa. ELRO Corporation Managing Director Patxi Elizalde and Sales and Marketing Head Cecille Loretizo challenged the guests to create and share their adventures with Ipanema flip flops. The event was hosted by Gelli Victor, and even made more special with the appearance of Azkal football player Anton del Rosario.

     Everyone was encouraged to join #IpanemaSelfeet with a series of mall events dubbed as #IpanemaSelfeet Sundays, which had successful stops at Robinsons Ermita, Ayala Center Cebu and Abreeza Mall in Davao. Mall goers had an exciting day as they got to try on Ipanema’s new collection and were able to take their #IpanemaSefeets.

     They also joined the games and raffles, got discounts on their Ipanema flip flops, and watched an exhibition of the Brazilian martial art capoeira, as well as treated to performances by Nadine Lustre and James Reid.
