Financial terms were not disclosed.
LG said it would support the partnership with the NCAA and CBS Sports through its "Something Better" integrated campaign, marketing programs, promotional activities, retailer tie-ins and print, broadcast and online advertising.
LG joins a roster of NCAA official corporate partners that includes Enterprise, The Hartford, Hershey's, Lowe's, Sheraton and State Farm. NCAA official corporate champions are AT&T, Coca-Cola and GM.
"Similar to the NCAA's talented coaches and student-athletes across nearly two dozen sports, LG aims to deliver 'something better' for consumers in home entertainment products, home appliances and mobile phones," John Weinstock, vp-marketing for LG Electronics USA, said in a statement. "Through this alliance, we will unite all three major product categories to help build a common feel for the brand, while capturing the essence of LG's famous 'Life's Good' slogan." Back to Home Page
