Prudential Hong Kong powers up "100% Doraemon & FRIENDS" Tour

Prudential Hong Kong Limited has announced its sponsorship of the “100% Doraemon & FRIENDS” Tour in Hong Kong.

The event, organised by AllRightsReserved and Fujiko Pro, runs from July 13 to Aug. 11 and features various activities designed to engage the public both online and offline.

Ivan Choi, chief customer and marketing officer at Prudential Hong Kong, said the sponsorship enables the insurer to curate several activities alongside the exhibition.

“We are delighted to welcome back to Hong Kong Doraemon, a beloved character that has warmed the hearts of multiple generations. The ‘100% Doraemon & FRIENDS’ Tour kicked off late last month with the world’s first Doraemon drone show – a big hit among the public and visitors,” he said. “This time, Doraemon brings with him his new gadget ‘100% Friends-Calling Bell’ to Hong Kong, which calls on his friends in time of needs, just like how Prudential has been listening to the needs of our customers whenever they need us.

“As the lead sponsor of the event, Prudential has also curated a feast of activities alongside the exhibition to excite and invigorate everyone and add summer sparkle to the vibrancy of Hong Kong.”
