Chevy’s
Presence during Extended FOX All-Star Pre-Game
Show
from Yankee Stadium Leads to Significant Exposure
ANN ARBOR,
MI, July 16, 2008 –
The largest gathering of All Stars and
Hall of Famers ever at a Major League Baseball event highlighted the pre-game
ceremony of the MLB All-Star Game Tuesday night.
The 40-minute Yankee Stadium send-off was part of the Chevy All-Star
Pre-Game on FOX, which saw the automaker reap more than $10.2 million of
comparable television exposure value.
According to research conducted by Joyce Julius & Associates,
Inc. — which specializes in measuring the impact of sponsorships across all
forms of media — Chevy logos appeared clear and in-focus for a total of eight
minutes, 53 seconds (8:53) during the FOX pre-game telecast.
Additionally, Chevy was mentioned by
FOX lead announcer Joe Buck on eight occasions.
When comparing the in-broadcast exposure to the estimated cost of a
commercial spot during the telecast, Chevy collected $10,216,665 of in-broadcast
exposure value.
The bulk of Chevy’s on-screen time occurred during the final
segment of the pre-game ceremony when Sheryl Crow sang the national anthem,
followed by George Steinbrenner’s ride to home plate to deliver the balls for
the first pitch. A Chevy bow tie
logo appeared at the upper right corner of the screen during the segment for
5:50.
