  "account": "Nestle and the National Basketball Association (NBA) have formed a multi-year international marketing collaboration to promote Milo, Nescau, and Nesquik globally. This partnership includes activations in select NBA youth basketball development programs, such as Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA, NBA Basketball School, and NBA 3X, as well as at NBA events and fan engagement platforms like NBA Global Games and NBA House. The agreement spans 21 markets across four continents, including Nigeria. In Nigeria, where Milo has supported youth basketball development for over two decades, this partnership builds upon that legacy and aims to inspire even more young people to engage in sports. The collaboration reflects Nestle's strategy to focus on fewer, larger global marketing platforms that can be consistently activated across markets while ensuring local relevance. The marketing partnership will also encompass retail programs and in-market fan experiences, including on-pack promotions and opportunities for consumers to win NBA tickets, merchandise, and other prizes.",
