Midea Leverages Africa Cup of Nations 2025 Campaign to Drive Strong Business Growth and Brand Impact Across Key African Markets
The Africa Cup of Nations 2025 (AFCON 2025) integrated marketing campaign has been successfully executed, driving significant growth in brand visibility, consumer engagement, and commercial performance across key African markets, including Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa.
As one of the continent’s most anticipated sporting events, AFCON provided Midea with a powerful platform to connect with millions of football fans. Through the innovative “Home Supporters' Cup” digital activation, the campaign transformed passive viewers into active participants, reinforcing Midea’s positioning as a brand that enhances everyday home experiences.

This strong performance translated into tangible business impact, driving sales growth across participating markets by:
-
Leveraging customized creatives that seamlessly integrated event sponsorship with product messaging, enhancing brand affinity and traffic
-
During the campaign period, we’re observing a strong lift across all of major markets in Africa, reaching over 40% YOY sell out increase from all categories
The combination of entertainment-driven content and performance-focused assets enabled Midea to effectively bridge brand awareness and sales conversion, maximizing return on marketing investment.


Strengthening Brand Awareness

Strong uplift observed in store traffic, in-store consideration, and channel sales performance
Through localized storytelling, AI-driven creatives, and KOL collaborations, Midea successfully positioned itself as a more youthful, relatable, and consumer-centric brand during one of Africa’s most important cultural moments.
A Multi-Channel Strategy
