Manning & MasterCard Team Up
PURCHASE, N.Y.-Credit unions that issue MasterCard may see a bump in interest with the release of new TV spots featuring Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. The spots are debuting in conjunction with the 2007 NFL season and are a series of tongue-in-cheek vignettes called "Priceless Pep Talks" in which Manning appears on a practice field extolling satirical life lessons for fans.
As a new twist in the campaign, fans can interact by visiting priceless.com/peptalks and personalize one of 12 Pep Talks from Manning and e-mail the video to someone they know. The vignettes range from motivating advice on driving a minivan to counseling a friend on starting a new job to wishing them a happy birthday.
