“While searching for just the right name for our partner recognition program we tripped across the lovely expression ‘true-blue’. We love it because it underscores all the values we hold so dear: extremely loyal; can always be counted on for their support; unwavering in their commitment; and trustworthy. These are the building blocks for a great partnership. And of course, the Maasai-inspired blue is at the core of our brand.”
