Davao Gets the #IpanemaSelfeet Experience

Last Novemeber 16,  I had a fantastic time attending the Ipanema Selfeet Sunday at the Abreeza Mall.  The famous Brazilian flipflop brand Ipanema launched the #Ipanema Selfeet campaign that challenges everyone to take their own selfeets in their every adventure. Davaoenos had a fabulous day checking out Ipanema’s  latest designs. We made rounds doing ‘selfeets‘ at the #IpanemaSelfeet stations that had fun backgrounds for that perfect shot. There were raffles for a chance to win gift certificates and accommodation at Pearl Farm Beach resort.  To top it all, we got a chance to see the handsome actor Tom Rodriguez, and pose for a picture with him, too. What’s more, Ipanema opened its first concept store in Davao at the ground floor of the Abreeza Mall, giving a one-day-only 20% discount for every purchase of Ipanema flipflops.

But instead of showing the face of a movie celebrity, a beauty queen or a politician, the video reveals an unlikely, yet welcome sight—a new, clean toilet facility. “Fiesta”, the Domex video is produced by Unilever Philippines.
