Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, also known as Shaq, is teaming up with Epson to promote their EcoTank printers. This partnership highlights the everyday benefits of Epson’s advanced printing solutions, with Shaq becoming the champion for these innovative products. As a savvy tech investor and someone who appreciates efficiency, Shaq recognizes the value of Epson EcoTank printers in simplifying daily tasks. These cartridge-free printers, featuring easy-to-fill, supersized ink tanks, are designed to empower users to be more productive and spend less time on printing hassles. The unique replacement ink bottles ensure users can print thousands of pages, reducing waste and minimizing trips to the store for ink.
“Life keeps me incredibly busy, juggling family and work,” Shaq stated. “I’m always searching for products that streamline everyday tasks, making them quick and effortless, so I can concentrate on what truly matters. Epson stands out by offering the best printing and home technology solutions available.” This multi-year collaboration will see Shaq and Epson working together to emphasize how Epson’s comprehensive range of technology solutions, suitable for home, business, and education, can enrich and simplify people’s lives. Epson will launch a series of engaging campaigns featuring Shaq as their brand ambassador across various platforms, including TV, digital media, in-store promotions, social media, and public appearances.
Keith Kratzberg, President and CEO of Epson America, Inc., commented on the partnership, “Shaq’s engaging and dynamic personality resonates with a broad audience of fans and customers globally. His energetic approach to life, combined with his remarkable business sense and passion for technology, makes him the ideal partner for Epson. We are excited to collaborate with him to generate enthusiasm for our products and provide greater value to our customers. This begins with hassle-free color printing, an ample ink supply, and ultimately, a significantly more enjoyable printing experience with what we like to call the ‘Shaq Printer’ effect.”
Epson and Shaq: Giving Back to Education
Epson, already a leader in the education sector, and Shaq are launching “Epson and Shaq Give Back,” a joint initiative with Communities In Schools (CIS). This program will donate a range of technology products, including EcoTank printers – the “Shaq printer” in this context of giving back – interactive projectors, and scanners, to numerous schools across the nation. Communities In Schools is dedicated to supporting students within schools, empowering them to stay in education and graduate. This partnership between CIS and the “Epson and Shaq Give Back” program aims to ensure that more schools have access to essential technology tools, helping students remain focused, motivated, and on track for success.
“Epson and I share a deep commitment to education and giving back to the community,” O’Neal added. “We are both eager to launch this program and witness its positive impact.”
