Confession: we had never heard of OtterBox before writing this post today.
But we had heard of one Peyton Manning, and increased awareness is sort of the whole point of celebrity endorsements, no?
The now-former NFL star/pizza and cheap beer enthusiast signed up to rep the company—which is “the No. 1-most trusted brand in smartphone case protection”—about a year ago and has since appeared in some ads by AOY CP+B Boulder.
In the latest round of ads, Manning has a new friend/bodyguard to make sure no one is trying to tackle him from the front. Or behind. Or anywhere, really.
Manning, who is happily retired but still taking heat for his Trump golf excursions and the sexual assault claims that bubbled up into the headlines last year, just doesn’t seem to know how to operate without some dude protecting him from everybody, including himself.
“When you saw only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you.”
Good to know someone’s watching his back, though. And not the Papa John’s guy. So is Manning just gonna star in ads for the rest of his life?
