World Cup Rocks With Kia On Tour 2014 @ Suria KLCC

Just the other day, I was at the World Cup edition Test Drive Kia on Tour roadshow held at Suria KLCC. It went on for a week from May 16th to May 21st with the finale being a lucky draw for the final two tickets to watch and experience FIFA World Cup live in Brazil. This was part of the "World Cup Rocks with Kia" campaign.

Arriving at the venue, being located the centre court of the ever popular Suria KLCC, it was already packed with people. There were fun and games in the football-themed atmosphere at the roadshows, with Kia models such as Kia Cerato 2.0 and 1.6, Picanto, Rio, Optima K5, Sorento and Sportage on display and available for test drives

World Cup Rocks With Kia - 2 The Test Drive Kia on Tour roadshows kicked off in March this year to celebrate the advent of the greatest sports event of the year, and to highlight Kia’s global partnership with FIFA World Cup.

A short information sharing is in order. The first roadshow was held at Queensbay Mall in Penang from March 6 to 9, followed by a stopover in Damansara, at The Curve from March 16 to 19 before Kia took the southern region by storm at KSL City Johor Bahru from April 4 to 6. I was at the last leg of the roadshow in Suria KLCC following the highly successful tours for this world cup roadshow edition.

Coming back to the "World Cup Rocks with Kia" campaign, I realized then that one lucky winner will walk away with 2 tickets to Brazil complete with flight tickets, accommodation, tickets to World Cup match and a city tour. How cool is that? The entries to the contest, 6,140 in total, came from the four Test Drive Kia on Tour roadshows where visitors who test drove or booked qualified to participate and stood a chance win the grand prize.

And the lucky winner is chosen!

The lucky draw for the winner was picked by Naza Kia Malaysia’s Chief Operating Officer, Datuk Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar, at the final World Cup edition Test Drive Kia on Tour roadshow held at Suria KLCC. Congratulations to the winner Lee Fee Mei from Petaling Jaya, Selangor! Now I was beside myself with jealousy at that point, kicking myself for not joining the contest earlier.

Datuk Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar, Chief Operating Officer of Naza Kia Malaysia said the company sees the global partnership with FIFA World Cup as a great opportunity to deliver the excitement of the brand to football-mad fellow Malaysians.

Staying on after the announcement of the winner, we got to catch a short football juggling performance by a couple of skillful lads. There they were showing off some nifty football handling skills amidst high spirited World Cup music.
