CHICAGO, Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corona Extra® has drafted former star quarterback and current football analyst Tony Romo as the operator and face of the fan-favorite Corona Hotline, which returns for its second year this football season.
Featuring a new number, 1-844-9-Corona, fans can call the Corona Hotline all season long to tap into Romo’s renowned powers of prediction, hear gameday reflections and enter for a chance to win prizes such as Corona gear or poolside seats in Las Vegas for the Big Game.
“I am thrilled to join the team and man the Corona Hotline,” said Romo. “Between fantasy match-ups and waiting each week for your favorite team’s game, football brings a lot of excitement. I am ready to help fans deal with the highs and lows of this football season, so they can kick back and enjoy with friends and family.”
Starting on Tuesday, August 21st, Romo will take center stage in Corona Extra’s Fall campaign – a complete 360-marketing effort including TV advertising, retail programming, and social/digital promotion all centered around the Corona Hotline.
