skinsfan190 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Here's another quote. Orakpo is going National. I like it. He's going to have a Huge year and I can't wait http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2011/08/24/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Orakpo.aspx The three spots, which were filmed in L.A. in May, feature Orakpo with the Geico Caveman, said Geico Dir of Advertising Bill Brower. Brower declined to reveal the financial details of the deal. “We look on him as a bonafide star in the league,” Brower said. It is the first time that Geico has used an NFL player in national advertising. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's HUGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashburn Dave Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 GEICO is headquartered in Chevy Chase, MD. This speaks volumes about who might be the face of our franchise if they think he has national marketing potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusVT Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I just saw it, the caveman is dressed as a cheerleader and Orakpo is in the locker room. Unfortunately I was making dinner so I only caught bits and pieces instead of the whole exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioso Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 CAA Football marketing agent Howard Skall, who represents Orakpo, said two of the spots play off Orakpo’s last name, which is pronounced “Orakpo,” in case you were wondering. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellioso Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Awesome to see rak with a national endorsement deal. Don't think it's nearly as funny as a lot of other Geico ads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW-x07tPUtw&feature=player_embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDiplomat Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If they don't play "Racks" chorus @ home games when Orakpo has multiple sacks, it'll be a shame really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
