EXCLUSIVE METLIFE AND LEVI’S STADIUM TOURS
Duracell will give media an insider’s look at how Duracell Quantum batteries power game day: from the national anthem to the game-winning play during exclusive tours of MetLife Stadium on August 27th and Levi’s Stadium on September 22nd. In partnership with All-Pro middle linebackers, Jon Beason of the New York Giants and Patrick Willis of the San Francisco 49ers, attendees will experience an interactive behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium highlighting touch points where Duracell Quantum affects the game. Consumers can see info graphic, photos, and videos from the day on Duracell’s Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/Duracell) or Twitter page (http://www.Twitter.com/Duracell).
POWER BEHIND THE GAME SPOTS
Duracell released two commercials for the 2014 NFL season featuring Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson and San Francisco 49ers Patrick Willis. The :30 spots showcase a hypothetical game-determining play powered by Duracell between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. A change in play call through the coach-to-player communication device sets a critical play into motion. One commercial is shot from the offensive and the other from the defensive perspective, allowing viewers to experience the decisive moment from both the players’ point of view. Consumers can see the commercials on Duracell’s YouTube page (http://www.Youtube.com/Duracell).
