And Just With A Random Tweet, Kenyan Girl Earns A Huge Billboard In France

When Kiritu Bobo as she calls herself posted a tweet one day, to her it was just one of her many random thoughts she shared on Twitter. However, unknown to her, the tweet she sent was about to change everything if not her life.

Having had the thoughts, Kiritu tweeted three lines “one day I’ll be in the billboard” and just like that, Twitter picker it up and decided to make her dream come true.

Twitter came through after taking notice and unreal as it seemed, things took a whole new twist with the reply.

Hello! We love your Tweet and want to use it in a custom placement in the Cannes Daily Lion News which will be distributed in Cannes, France for 4 days in June. Please let us know if you have any objections! Thanks!

And that’s when the reality hit. She was eventually on a billboard, giant one for that purpose and more so on a giant brand. Twitter finally made her dream come true. A lifetime opportunity.

Twitter has launched its first global marketing campaign to specifically honour its ‘influential and movement-making’ audiences across the US, UK and Brazil to communicate the strength of its audience to marketers.
