New York, NY (Top40 Charts) I use Monster products in my daily life, as the quality of their products is top-notch, so I'm thrilled we were able to find a way to incorporate them into my professional life, too.
Monster, who has built a strong reputation in the world of sports and fitness training audio products with its innovative headphones that deliver Pure Monster Sound, is pleased to announce its partnership with The Weinstein Company (TWC) to cross promote its latest products in conjunction with the studio's feature film Southpaw. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal and will be released in the U.S. on July 24.
As the exclusive consumer electronics provider to this major motion picture, Monster is mounting a robust co-branded advertising campaign, featuring footage from the film and images of Monster products that will appear regularly on the G-Tron bi-directional billboard in New York City's Times
Square for two months.
Southpaw tells the riveting story of Billy "The Great" Hope, reigning Light Heavyweight Boxing
Champion of the World (Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal). Billy Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a loving family and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) leaves him behind, Hope hits rock bottom and turns to an unlikely savior at a run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city's toughest amateur boxers. With his future riding on Tick's guidance and tenacity, Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.
Head Monster Noel Lee said of the partnership: "We are very excited to have this opportunity to participate in Southpaw, a highly-anticipated movie that tells a compelling story of a man that strives to achieve at the highest level in sports. The film's widely acclaimed director, Antoine Fuqua, is also known for being very passionate about sound. We share his serious attitude towards audio quality, which is illustrated in the Pure Monster Sound we offer those with active lifestyles, from professional athletes to weekend warriors, in our diverse line of headphones."
"I use Monster products in my daily life, as the quality of their products is top-notch," said the movie's director Antoine Fuqua. "So I'm thrilled we were able to find a way to incorporate them into my professional life, too."
Monster headphones and other products will be featured in all elements of the film and its promotion, including product placement, premieres, advertising, marketing, Internet, press conferences, screenings, etc. In exchange, Monster will outfit participating retailers throughout the U.S. with engaging point-of-purchase (P.O.P.) video displays for its products that will run scenes from the film, as well as counter cards and standees featuring the likeness of Jake Gyllenhaal.
