SafeAuto Insurance Partners with Michael Redd Foundation
Columbus, OH, December 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- SafeAuto is pleased to announce a new partnership with Michael Redd and the Michael Redd Foundation. Michael Redd has been designated a safety spokesperson for SafeAuto to help spread the word on ways to “Play It Safe.” In return, SafeAuto will be a proud supporter of the Michael Redd Foundation.
Redd’s new joint venture with SafeAuto will include taking part in both television advertisements as well as other promotional and community outreach campaigns. Michael Redd’s outstanding career contributions to the community made him an easy choice and a great fit as spokesperson for SafeAuto.
In his new role, Redd will become a primary spokesperson supporting SafeAuto’s message to 'Play it Safe.’ SafeAuto has been encouraging drivers to “Play It Safe” for years by being insured so they don't lose the privilege of driving and paying attention to the auto and traffic safety issues such as not texting while driving. Redd will be promoting and expanding the “Play it Safe” theme through his continued participation in various youth programs.
“We are pleased to welcome Michael Redd as our new spokesperson in supporting the SafeAuto brand and the important message to always ‘Play it Safe,’” said Jon Diamond, president of SafeAuto. “Redd has demonstrated a commitment towards advancing the lives of today’s youth which makes him the perfect advocate to drive home SafeAuto’s important message to ‘Play it Safe.’ We are very pleased to be affiliated with Michael and his Foundation.”
The new safety campaigns will complement SafeAuto’s Justin Case and the Rocket Scientist campaigns along with the Michael Redd Foundation initiatives.
