Digicel Tonga launched its’ ‘Get Gifted’ Christmas themed campaign last Friday.

The launch included a Santa Parade from Ma’amaloa to Digicel Square where the biggest Christmas tree in Tonga was lit. This was followed by lots of entertainment for families.

The ‘Get Gifted’ campaign is aimed to uplift the Christmas spirit amongst households, the local community and to remind customers that this Christmas we know what you want.

Ben Kealy, the new Digicel Tonga CEO said that: “The Christmas campaign’s key focus is on both the universal awkwardness of receiving a bad Christmas gift and the pure joy of getting the perfect gift … In other words a Digicel Gift.”

He went onto say that: “Our marketing communication demonstrates this and features consumers making humorously “bad gift faces” and “good gift faces”.  

Ben was recently the CEO for Digicel in Nauru and was instrumental in building a strong and solid business with key emphasis on People, Customers, Network, Business Solutions, Data Growth, Government Relations and the launching of new Play TV and 4G / LTE.
