“We believe that DStv and Patience Namadingo is a perfect marriage because we both aspire towards similar entertainment goals and our target audiences are the same. DStv appeals to all age groups and the same can be said about Namandingo’ s music. DStv content is family-oriented just like Namadingo’s music. We believe Namandingo will have a positive impact on our brand through his huge fan base that he commands in Malawi,” said MultiChoice Malawi’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Chimwemwe Nyirenda.
As part of his obligations, Patience Namadingo is expected to carry the DStv brand through his band (band members should wear T-shirts with DStv messages, attire with DStv colours), talk about DStv during his shows, perform at DStv events among other things.
When contacted about the news, Namadingo said he was happy with the appointment because it is an opportunity for growth.
“DStv is a big and leading brand in Malawi’s video entertainment industry. I cannot think of any other perfect match of a brand to work with in as far as my line of growth and development as an artist is concerned. I believe my association with DStv will open new opportunities for growth both at professional and personal level,” he said.
