From Motorola’s new high-definition (HD) plasma displays running NFL Network programming to Motorola wireless phones connecting more than 500 members of the NFL staff, the company will keep fans, staff and media connected and entertained throughout this year’s Super Bowl festivities.
“Communication is a make it or break part of the NFL,” Said Geoffrey Frost, Chief Brand Officer for Motorola. “In the game, Motorola’s innovations deliver seamless communication for the coaches while our high-definition televisions, customized handsets and wireless networking equipment extend the power and passion of the game to the fans like never before”
Motorola Connects with Fans
During the NFL Experience, January 23rd through February 1st, Motorola is giving NFL fans the opportunity to test their athletic skills and a chance to win a trip for two to the 2004 NFL Draft in New York City via the DRAFTMEMOTO Challenge.
While moving through a series of NFL inspired activities, consumers will get a chance to trial Motorola’s newest products designed to help keep them informed, entertained and connected during the NFL season and throughout their daily lives. Players will use Motorola technologies to advance to the next round of the challenge, including the new Motorola V600 handset with video clip playback perfect for viewing the best touchdown of the season, Motorola’s IMFree wireless instant messenger for communicating with friends while watching the game, our wireless networking products for downloading your favorite player’s stats at lightening speed, and our high-definition plasma displays for watching NFL games in HD.
After fans take the DRAFTMEMOTO challenge, they can make free phone calls to connect with friends and family back home via the Motorola Call Center -- featuring our newest wireless handsets and accessories and Motorola’s Digital Cordless phones with the Motorola VT1000 multimedia terminal technology and Vonage’s broadband telephony service that enables consumers to use traditional phone handsets to make calls over the Internet.
As participants successfully complete each DRAFTMEMOTO activity, their draft card will be stamped and serve as their entry into daily and grand prize sweepstakes, including the trip for two to this year’s NFL Draft in New York City. To round out Motorola’s presence at the NFLX, past NFL Draft stars will be on hand throughout the week to sign autographs for their fans and would-be NFL draftees. A schedule of player appearances is available by calling Monica Rohleder at 847-606-1973.
