Not Impressed: Jide Kosoko Critiques Funke Akindele’s Dance Strategy.
Veteran actor Jide Kosoko has weighed in on unconventional film promotion strategies, such as dancing, used by Nigerian actors to market their movies.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on the TVC Breakfast Show on Friday, Kosoko described the approach as “not the best,” though he acknowledged its effectiveness for actors like Funke Akindele. He stressed that there should be a more organised method for promoting films.
“There is nothing wrong with that style for her, but I’m telling you it is not the best. There should be a more organised way of promoting our movies,” he said.
Kosoko noted that because the ultimate goal of promotion is to generate returns, the strategy can be effective in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
“Funke thought it was wise to do something that could bring attention, and she did it. And it’s working for her and a lot of us, too. At the end of the day, what you are looking for is returns,” he explained.
He added that local practices differ from global norms:
“I’ve travelled a lot, and I know that people elsewhere, even actors, don’t dance about their movies. That is not the standard. But unfortunately, our environment is different.”
