Diageo Launches Historic Sponsorship at AMVCA 2023

Diageo has made a historic move by unveiling its first full portfolio sponsorship at the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA), a significant cultural event in Africa. This partnership brings together Diageo's diverse brands, including Guinness, Malta Guinness, Orijin, Smirnoff, and Don Julio, as headlining sponsors.

The collaboration aims to celebrate creativity and storytelling, reflecting the company's legacy in shaping contemporary African culture. This year’s partnership indicates a strategic evolution for Guinness, moving beyond individual brand participation to an integrated portfolio approach that resonates with diverse audiences.

The AMVCA, organized by Canal Multichoice, is set to expand its footprint across the continent, with the 2026 edition introducing new recognition for the best indigenous language film in North Central Africa, reinforcing the awards' commitment to inclusivity and broader representation in Africa's storytelling landscape.
