Klipsch,
a leading global speaker and headphone manufacturer, announces today the
signing of Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback Andrew Luck as an official
brand ambassador. As part of the multi-year partnership, Klipsch will
integrate Luck’s commitment to quality, fresh perspective and creative
inspiration into all facets of the brand.
“When I first experienced Klipsch products, I was instantly
impressed. I became even more interested in learning about the company
when I found out it was based in Indianapolis,” said Luck. “Partnering
with a local company is very important to me, and the fact that Klipsch
makes the best sounding speakers and headphones I’ve ever heard adds
great value to this collaboration.”
“You can imagine our excitement when Andrew reached out to us
expressing his interest in our company and its products,” said Paul
Jacobs, CEO of Klipsch. “As a staple in both the community and
international sports arena, he will help play a major role in creating
new opportunities for brand and product visibility. With our brand
ideals aligned, this organically-developed relationship is one we look
forward to having for years to come.”
An established brand fan and product user, Luck will be
incorporated heavily into the product development, marketing and social
efforts serving the brand itself, as well as its headphones and home
audio products. He will also work alongside Klipsch throughout the
development of his own headphone series. Proving invaluable will be the
ability to collaborate extensively with Andrew in Klipsch’s global
headquarter city of Indianapolis. In addition, his youthful insight,
passion and high-achievement standards will provide guidance as Klipsch
works to develop fresh, lifestyle-focused products that meet the needs
of new demographics, while still incorporating the brand’s legendary
audio performance.
This announcement coincides with Klipsch’s large-scale sports
marketing initiative that incorporates world-renowned athletes into the
daily activities fueling the brand and its overall growth. As a result,
Luck joins fellow Klipsch brand ambassadors that include teammate
Robert Mathis (Indianapolis Colts), DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors),
Roy Hibbert (Indiana Pacers), Josef Newgarden (IndyCar) and Graham
Rahal (IndyCar).
