Knowing that we have the realme Squad with us every step of the way pushes us to outdo ourselves and reach greater heights”, shares Austine Huang, realme Philippines’ VP for Marketing. “We are truly grateful for your loyalty, and we hope that our Global Fan Fest this month will spread joy and optimism amid these challenging times,” adds Huang.
With the theme Dare To Be You, this year’s Global Fan Fest serves as a reminder to today’s youth to be unapologetically real despite the noises that surround us. With this in mind, realme is set to roll out various initiatives and events this month that the Squad can look forward to.
