As we head into the last weekend before the launch of BlackBerry 10 on Wednesday, Research In Motion has confirmed that BlackBerry 10 will be featured in a commercial during Super Bowl XLVII.
BlackBerry Makes First Ever Super Bowl Appearance
January 25, 2013 – Today Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM)confirms that BlackBerry 10, its new mobile computing platform that will power the next generation of smartphones and tablets, will be featured in a commercial during Super Bowl XLVII.
This confirmation kicks-off a week of worldwide launch activity for RIM’s BlackBerry 10 platform, along with the first two devices to run on the new platform. These activities are part of a broad integrated marketing campaign to support the global rollout of BlackBerry 10. In addition to the 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl that will air in both the U.S. and Canada, BlackBerry will be integrated into a number of pre- and post-game on-site, digital and social activities, including real time engagement with BlackBerry social fans on Facebook and Twitter, as well as extending and amplifying exposure and fan engagement through Promoted Posts and Sponsored Story ads.
“A Super Bowl commercial, is a great opportunity to show the re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented BlackBerry to tens of millions of consumers on the largest advertising stage of the year,” said Frank Boulben, Chief Marketing Officer, Research In Motion. “BlackBerry has 30 million social media fans, and we’re looking forward to continuing to encourage them and all NFL football fans to see the power of BlackBerry 10 for themselves.”
Too bad they don’t air Superbowl in my country.
We do have NBA however.
Hope to see some BB10 commercial between NBA matches in the future.
Cheers
I’ll be watching for the first time ever, just to see the commercial.
Money well spent. All eyes will be glued to Superbowl. In North America at least.
