Lowe's will show up uniquely in each game with branding across multiple gameplay experiences. In EA SPORTS College Football 26, Lowe's will be featured on the broadcast overlay of the popular Stadium Pulse placement. The Stadium Pulse dynamically showcases and builds crowd excitement as gameplay improves, drawing meaningful parallels to the passion homeowners feel when enhancing their own spaces with Lowe's. Additionally, fans of EA SPORTS FC™ and Madden NFL will be able to engage more deeply with the brand in a future title for each franchise through Ultimate Team™ challenges that offer rewards.
To further extend opportunities for consumers to engage with the Lowe's brand and Madden NFL, Lowe's will also launch a real life "On the Road" interactive gaming experience that fans can engage with as it makes its way around the country later this year and throughout the NFL season. More information about this experience and how to participate will be available in late summer.
Gaming delivers an evolution in Lowe's sports investment portfolio to engage new audiences ahead of future home improvement projects.
"Integrating Lowe's within EA SPORTS titles gives us an innovative way to engage with sports fans who are important to our brand," said Jen Wilson, Lowe's senior vice president, Chief Marketing Officer. "We are constantly looking for new pathways to bring more consumers into our loyalty ecosystem by connecting with their passions. This is such an immersive and unexpected way to introduce ourselves to the next generation of home improvers."
The new integration with EA SPORTS titles further enhances Lowe's broader sports marketing strategy, serving as a strategic extension of its work with traditional sports platforms, such as being the Official Home Improvement Partner of the NFL. By bringing this new content to EA SPORTS massive community of players, Lowe's seeks to connect with digitally savvy audiences in their areas of interest earlier, more frequently and in a native way, thus establishing true connections with the next generation of loyal Lowe's fans.
Lowe's has become a Proud Partner of EA SPORTS FC™, Madden NFL and College Football 26. As part of this collaboration, Lowe's will appear in engaging gameplay moments.
