Robi Awards 26 Winners in Four World Cup Campaigns

Robi Axiata has awarded 26 winners from four special campaigns organized for customers around the football World Cup. The prizes were handed over at a special ceremony held Tuesday (August 11) at Robi’s headquarters in Tejgaon, Dhaka.

Robi Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Ziad Sattar, Head of Marketing Md. Shawkat Kader Chowdhury and other relevant officials attended the event.

For the World Cup, Robi organized various football-themed digital and non-digital activities through the My Robi app. These included the “Quizmaster,” “Snap & Graffiti,” “Who Will Be Football’s Octopus?” and “Mouli Pack World Cup” campaigns.

Quizmaster

Through the Quizmaster campaign, customers had the opportunity to participate in a football quiz every day through the My Robi app. Participants earned points based on their correct answers throughout the World Cup. At the end of the competition, 11 winners were selected from among those with the highest scores.

Snap & Graffiti

The Snap & Graffiti campaign allowed customers to participate by taking photographs in front of World Cup-themed graffiti created by Robi at different locations across the country. Eleven winners were selected based on the photographs they submitted.

Who Will Be Football’s Octopus?

The most talked-about campaign, “Who Will Be Football’s Octopus?”, allowed participants to predict the likely winners of the World Cup, Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards. More than 40,000 people participated in the competition.

Three participants who made the closest and most accurate predictions throughout the tournament were selected as winners.

Mohammad Nawajes Haque Sarker was named third runner-up. Kamrul Hasan became second runner-up and received a 50-inch smart LED television. Mihajul Karim was the first runner-up and received a 55-inch smart LED television.

Mohammad Ataur Rahman became the mega champion. Because of his remarkable predictions and success, he was humorously dubbed “Bangladesh’s Octopus.” He received a Royal Enfield motorcycle as the grand prize. He is from Noakhali.

At the event, the organizers said that making such accurate predictions throughout the World Cup among more than 40,000 participants was certainly no ordinary achievement. The success of the three winners was therefore specially celebrated.

Meanwhile, among the winners of the graffiti campaign present at the ceremony were Moklesur Rahman from Keraniganj, Dhaka; Anjan Palash; Mohammad Nawajes Haque Sarker; Mohammad Tanvir Ismail from Lakshmipur; and Sabrina Hossain. Organizers said that some winners could not attend because they live in different parts of the country. Their prizes will be delivered to them later.

Robi’s World Cup Experience

Robi CEO and Managing Director Ziad Sattar said Robi played an important role in creating the necessary platforms for broadcasting World Cup matches, ensuring network capacity and allowing viewers to enjoy the games without interruption.

He said the most satisfying aspect was that a large number of people joined the excitement, expressed their emotions and showed support for their favorite teams and countries. People did not merely enjoy the World Cup by watching matches; they also had the opportunity to participate as contestants themselves.

In other words, the excitement of the World Cup went beyond simply being a spectator experience and became an opportunity for active participation. He said Robi was delighted to host the winners and added that their knowledge and skills in football helped them succeed. In the current era, he noted, good knowledge of football not only enhances enjoyment of the game but can also create opportunities to win major prizes.

Robi Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Shahed Alam said the company was not merely organizing exciting activities but was also giving the highest priority to improving network quality. He added that customers would soon see several more surprises.

Robi Head of Marketing Md. Shawkat Kader Chowdhury said the objective of the campaigns was to create enjoyable and memorable experiences for customers around the excitement of the World Cup. Through quizzes, graffiti, predictions and other activities, customers were directly engaged with the tournament.

Meanwhile, special guests Shahid Bhai and Shahbaz Bhai were invited to the stage to hand over prizes to the champion and other winners.

One customer also received a prize in the “Mouli Pack World Cup” campaign. Altogether, 26 winners from the four campaigns received prizes. Through these initiatives, Robi customers had the opportunity not only to watch World Cup matches but also to participate directly in quizzes, prediction contests, photography and other competitions.
