ExxonMobil Forms New Partnership with Five-Time NBA® All-Star Anthony Davis
The multi-year marketing partnership begins with Davis as the hero of
the new Mobil 1TM Annual Protection motor oil advertising
campaign
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, ExxonMobil and NBA® All-Star Anthony Davis, announced
an exciting new partnership. Davis, one of the top players in the NBA,
will play a leading role in the Mobil 1TM brand marketing
campaign, helping to highlight the latest products and innovations.
Davis will star in the new national advertising campaign for Mobil 1
Annual Protection, which provides drivers proven protection for 20,000
miles between oil changes, ensuring less money and time is spent
changing motor oil. Hitting screens in April, the latest set of
commercials will see Davis star in a series of advertising spots
highlighting the benefits of Mobil 1 Annual Protection.
Davis will follow in the footsteps of basketball Hall-of-Famer Dikembe
Mutombo, who memorably appeared in the spots alongside Kevin Harvick in
2017. Davis will participate in upcoming campaigns, promotions,
endorsements and content on behalf of the Mobil 1 brand.
“We are delighted for our partnership with Anthony Davis and his ability
to reach a new group of passionate basketball fans and consumer base,”
said Rebecca Pearson, North America Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil.
“Anthony is known for his great defense, which makes him the perfect
person to spotlight the outstanding engine protection of Mobil 1 Annual
Protection to consumers. We are looking forward to a long and successful
relationship together.”
“It’s an honor to partner with ExxonMobil to help promote Mobil 1 motor
oil,” said Davis, who has twice led the NBA in blocked shots. “I use
Mobil 1 because just like I take pride in my defense on the court,
ExxonMobil engineers take pride in ensuring that their motor oil
provides outstanding performance and protection for a vehicle’s engine.
I hope everyone enjoys our new commercials – they will certainly raise
some eyebrows.”
The announcement of the partnership with Davis continues a journey that
began in 2016 when ExxonMobil was first announced as the Official Motor
Oil of the NBA in both the United States and China. This relationship
was heavily leveraged in the inaugural marketing campaign for Mobil 1
Annual Protection in 2017.
