Midea, one of the world’s leading and largest home appliances producer has announced Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as its Official Global Brand Ambassador.
The announcement is the latest extension of Midea and Manchester City’s successful partnership that began in January 2020 and recently renewed in May this year. To date, the partnership has engaged millions of global fans with award-winning activations.
To celebrate Erling becoming an Official Brand Ambassador, Midea and Manchester City have launched a video campaign that brings to life the brand’s mantra, ‘make yourself at home’ by showcasing Erling’s use of Midea products within a tranquil home environment to find balance and the needed ‘power’ for his second home, the Etihad Stadium.
The leading home appliance brand will continue to collaborate with City’s treble winner for future seasons, connecting Erling’s fanbase with Midea customers and football fans globally, through a variety of content campaigns, as well as exclusive merchandise giveaways and other digital activities.
Erling Haaland said, “Midea are a proud partner of Manchester City and I’ve enjoyed being part of campaigns during my time with the club so far.
I’ve noticed the Midea logo across the Etihad Stadium and having learned about their size and ambitions, I am pleased to become a Global Brand Ambassador today. The first video we shot a few weeks ago was really fun and I am looking forward to working together moving forwards.”
Eric Wang, President, Midea Group’s Smart Home Business said, “Erling Haaland is a household name, a player the entire world is looking at and talking about.
He is so humble yet so powerful, and at 23 years old has such a potential to still be unleashed – similar to our Midea brand. We’re so delighted to kick off our partnership with him today.”
