Vivint Smart Home Teams Up with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz for “Letters to Utah” Campaign
October 19, 2018
Campaign kicks off multi-year partnership with NBA superstars
SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#HomeIsEverything—Vivint
Smart Home, a leading smart home company, today announced a
multi-year partnership with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert of the Utah
Jazz. The agreement brings together Vivint, a premier partner of the
Jazz with the Vivint
Smart Home Arena, and the NBA superstars to collaborate on several
advertising and marketing campaigns.
Vivint Smart Home will tip off the partnership with a “Letters
to Utah” campaign, launching today, which will appear on Jazz TV
broadcasts and social media. A creative spin on the farewell messages
that have become commonplace among NBA players who switch teams,
“Letters to Utah” features Mitchell and Gobert sharing what they love
about playing in Utah and excitement for what they are building in the
state.
“It’s become a tradition for athletes to write farewell letters when
they leave a city—instead, Donovan and Rudy are sending letters at the
start of a new season in the state that has become their second home,”
said Nate Randle, chief marketing officer at Vivint Smart Home. “Utah is
lucky to have two of the best players in the NBA, and their commitment
to their team and the community goes above and beyond. We’re honored to
have them represent our brand and share what it means to feel at home.”
Last season, Mitchell and Gobert led the Jazz to the second round of the
playoffs, capping standout individual seasons for the duo. In his first
season, Mitchell won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and was the runner-up for
the NBA Rookie of the Year award. He was also recently awarded an ESPY
for Best Breakthrough Athlete. In his fifth season, Gobert received
recognition as the NBA Defensive Player of the Year and was the top
vote-getter for the NBA All-Defensive Team.
“Utah feels like home to us because of the way Jazz fans across the
state have embraced us with open arms,” Mitchell said.
“We’re excited to team up with Vivint Smart Home to show why home is
everything to us,” Gobert said.
The “Letters to Utah” campaign was directed by Rick McFarland of
fiftyfilms with music composed by Lisle Moore of Garage Mahal Music.
