Jason Kelce is transitioning from star NFL center to
the center of Marriott Bonvoy.
Kelce retired last season after 13 years with the Philadelphia
Eagles. He is a Super Bowl champion and is well-known for his podcast with his
brother, Travis, who is dating Taylor Swift. In fact, the two brothers recently
signed a $100 million contract to continue their podcast.
Now, for his first season off the field, Marriott
Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, the Official Hotel Partner of the NFL,
announced that Kelce is joining their team as the first-ever
‘Fanbassador.’
Starting today, September 5, and continuing every
Thursday throughout the entire NFL regular season, Jason Kelce will debut a new
Marriott Bonvoy Moment, where Marriott Bonvoy members will have the opportunity
to bid points for football-related experiences inspired by, and alongside,
Kelce.
The ‘Moments’ will range from joining Kelce at a
gameday pool party to having him pick your fantasy league loser’s punishment.
“During my playing days, I was able to see and
experience first-hand the unrivaled passion of NFL fans. Now, finished playing,
I could not be more excited to spend my first season as a full-time fan helping
fuel those same passions by teaming up with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by
Marriott, the home of NFL fans everywhere,” Kelce said in a statement. “As the
‘Fanbassador,’ this collaboration is about celebrating all of the things that
make NFL fans special and providing them opportunities to get closer to the
game they love like never before. Let’s get this season started.”
Promotion Runs Through the Super Bowl
The 2024 season was scheduled to begin Thursday night
with a game between Kelse’s brother Travis, and the Kansas City Chiefs against
the Baltimore Ravens.
Some highlight Moments that will drop throughout the
season include:
- Pool Party
with Jason Kelce (available for redemption and auction): For just 1
Marriott Bonvoy point, members can watch a game from the rooftop pool at a
Courtyard by Marriott in Los Angeles with the NFL icon himself.
- Fantasy
Football Punishment (available for auction): The joy of fantasy
victory and agony of fantasy defeat are in the hands of the ‘Fanbassador’
himself.
- Mystery
Moment (available for redemption): Show up at Courtyard by Marriott
in Philly and find out what’s in store.
These are just a few of the ‘Moments’ that will take
place and be available throughout the season, leading all the way to the Super
Bowl in February in New Orleans.
“As a player, Jason Kelce inspired an entire
generation of fans to pursue the game they love, and we could not think of a
more perfect NFL fan to be the first-ever Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by
Marriott ‘Fanbassador’ than him,” says Brian Povinelli, Marriott’s Senior Vice
President, Global Head of Marketing and Brand. “Each of these experiences are
set to ignite the same enthusiasm and love of the game that Jason embodies,
creating unforgettable memories for our members and guests to pursue their
passion for the game every single week of the season, all the way to Super Bowl
LIX.”
