Gerardo Soto, Lowe’s vice president of sports and brand marketing, said: “We were looking to expand our sports sponsorships beyond the NFL audience, which has worked very well for us, but we know there is a large audience for football as well. ”. To kick off the partnership, Lowe’s and Messi will “help” loyal Lowe’s customers with additional benefits. Starting today, all loyal members “will receive 100 points to get closer to their next reward through the new Lowe’s loyalty program.” Lowe’s partnership with Inter Miami will include “in-stadium signage and activations, community programming, ticketed hospitality and player appearances” throughout South Florida.
