VIZIO Big Screens for Big Plays Gives Professional Football Fans More Reasons to Watch
Irvine, CA —September 5, 2017 — VIZIO, Inc. announced today its latest campaign, Big Screens for Big Plays, a series of sweepstakes designed to reward professional football fans when big plays happen on the field. Each time a play of 40+ yards results in a touchdown, VIZIO will reward a lucky fan with an all-new 2017 VIZIO SmartCast™ M-Series 50" Ultra HD HDR XLED Plus™ Display. Fans looking to instantly upgrade their football viewing experience can enter to win at VIZIO.com/BigPlays .
To help spread the word to fans about Big Plays for Big Screens, VIZIO has enlisted the help of Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin.
“Big Plays for Big Screens is all about recognizing those big moments on the field that every football fan hopes to see,” said Lily Knowles, SVP Marketing, VIZIO. “Besides catching the action in person, nothing makes games feel more captivating than watching on a big screen. That is why we’re excited to give fans a chance to score a 50” M-Series every time there is a big play on the field this season. The more 40+ yard plays that result in a touchdown, the more displays we’ll be giving away.”
VIZIO SmartCast TV SM is the latest way for football fans to quickly access the content they love from popular apps right on the big screen.
