Lionel Messi, the legendary FC Barcelona Forward, has signed a 5-year contract to become the worldwide brand ambassador for Hard Rock.With Hard Rock already located in 68 countries and known to be a very recognizable brand, this addition will make them the biggest brand in their work if they are not already the biggest. Having a soccer player or footballer as an ambassador of your company is huge because everyone knows it is the biggest sport in the world, and having the best to ever do it as the ambassador is even bigger.
“Sports and music are an integral part of my life, a perfect combination between my profession and my leisure time. Uniting both is a great success, and I am very happy that they have counted on me for this special outcome. It is an honor to be the first athlete to partner with a brand that has a history of teaming with music legends,” stated Messi.
Allen and Messi have sealed this agreement with an original gift exchange. Messi has given him a signed replica of his golden ball, a gesture Allen has reciprocated with an electric guitar designed especially for Messi. A replica of this guitar, signed by the player, will be displayed at a Hard Rock property to be announced soon, making it part of the most valuable collection of musical objects in the world.
With Messi being linked to move to the MLS and Inter Miami being the biggest name, it is no shock that the Orlando-based company is looking to move its company to South Florida and connect with a player such as Messi, who may be heading that way soon as well.
