Volvo negotiating China endorsement deal with NBA star Jeremy Lin, sources say

Volvo negotiating China endorsement deal with NBA star Jeremy Lin, sources say | Winning The Internet | Scoop.it
Jeremy Lin, the New York Knicks basketball player who surged in popularity this year, is in talks on an endorsement deal with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co.'s Volvo Cars, three people familiar with the matter said.
Tyler Papania's curator insight, October 30, 2013 10:42 PM

This article shows a perfect example of how a company can capitalize on an athlete being from a foreign country or having roots there. With Jeremy Lin having Chinese origins, Volvo figures that they can grab a big piece of the automobile market in China by advertising Lin in association with their vehicles. With this deal, Volvo hopes to eventually open two car building factories and an engine plant somewhere in China.
