Campbell’s® Chunky™ Soup Brings Back the ‘Mama’s Boy’ Ad Campaign with Super Bowl Champion Victor Cruz September 6, 2012 Cruz Joins Elite Roster of NFL Stars Who Have Been Named Chunky Soup ‘Mama’s Boys’ CAMDEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 6, 2012-- Campbell’s® Chunky™ soup, the Official Soup Sponsor of the NFL, is bringing back its “Mama’s Boy” advertising campaign this season. Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) selected Victor Cruz, New York Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl XLVI champion, as the new face of the campaign, which was first introduced in 1997. By reprising the successful campaign, Campbell is strengthening the brand’s connection with the core Chunky soup eater and fully leveraging its NFL sponsorship. Campbell's(R) Chunky(TM) soup, the Official Soup Sponsor of the NFL, is bringing back Cruz will be featured in a series of TV and its "Mama's Bo ... print ads as well as social media that kick off this week to coincide with Week One of Campbell's(R) Chunky(TM) soup, the Official Soup Sponsor of the NFL, is bringing back its "Mama's the 2012 NFL season. Boy" advertising campaign this season. Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB) selected Victor Cruz, Known for having a close relationship with New York Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl XLVI champion, as the new face of the campaign, both his mother and grandmother, Cruz which was first introduced in 1997. Cruz will be featured in a series of TV and print ads as well as was a natural fit for the “Mama’s Boy” social media that kick off this week to coincide with Week One of the 2012 NFL season. (Photo: campaign. A rising star in the NFL last year, Campbell Soup Company) Cruz captured the attention of football fans nationwide with a breakout NFL season and revealed his fun-loving personality with his signature “Salsa Dance” touchdown celebration. A native of Paterson, N.J., Cruz is not only an amazing athlete on the field, but is also very active in his community. “When guys watch an NFL player like Victor Cruz they may admire his athletic abilities or his accomplishments, like winning a Super Bowl ring, but they typically don’t think about the influential people who helped him get to that point – like his mom,” said Mark Materacky, Senior Brand Manager, Campbell’s Chunky Soup. “The ‘Mama’s Boy’ campaign taps into the important relationship guys share with their moms and helps make a star athlete like Cruz more relatable to men who love football as well as the amazing women in their lives.” In addition to the ads, Campbell is serving up three new varieties of Chunky soup that are sure to appeal to guys who are looking for bolder flavors: Chipotle Chicken and Corn Chowder, Kickin’ Buffalo-Style Chicken and Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans. The “Mama’s Boy” campaign, created by Y&R New York, reminds guys that Campbell’s Chunky soup can help them stay on top of their game both on and off the field. The Chunky soup brand has been fueling the NFL and its fans since 1998; and, with the help of Cruz, the brand will appeal to a new generation of guys who are looking for flavorful, satisfying and hearty soups. Cruz follows in the footsteps of numerous high-profile NFL players who were previously involved with the “Mama’s Boy” campaign; including Hall of Famers like John Elway, Terrell Davis and Jerome Bettis and other well-known players like Kurt Warner, Donovan McNabb and Michael Strahan. The campaign originally ran from 1997 to 2008 and has featured both actresses and real moms alongside the NFL players. For the current campaign the role of Cruz’ mother and grandmother are played by actresses. In the first television spot, titled “Mascot,” Cruz is called to the sideline by his stand-in mom, disguised as a team mascot, to serve him a bowl of Chunky soup. The print ads will appear in sports and men’s magazines. Chunky Audible Digital Campaign To further connect with the core Chunky soup eater, the brand will also launch a Twitter campaign (@CampbellsChunky) to encourage fans to share their #ChunkyAudible mealtime solution when they’re presented with a less-than-satisfying dish. Football-related digital ads will run on sports- dedicated websites with a focus on fantasy football and NFL content.

    Trademark Rights for Signature Touchdown Dances

    Trademark Rights for Signature Touchdown Dances Abstract Famous athletes are increasingly cultivating signature dances and celebratory moves, such as touchdown dances, as valuable and commercially viable elements of their personal brands. As these personal branding devices have become immediately recognizable and have begun being commercially exploited, athletes need to legally protect their signature dances. This paper argues that trademark law should protect the signature dances and moves of famous athletes, particularly the signature touchdown dances of NFL players. Because touchdown dances are devices capable of distinguishing one player from another, are non- functional, and are commercially used in NFL games, the dances should be registrable with the USPTO as trademarks for football services.
