Miller will be featured alongside Harley-Davidson motorcycles in
military-themed creative, including print and digital ads, posters, postcards
and calendars throughout the month of November. Miller first worked with the
Motor Company in 2008 to help launch the Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle
motorcycle.
"I'm honored to help the Motor Company salute the brave men and women who keep
our country free," said Miller. "My grandfather is a veteran, and I've had
the unique opportunity to meet several service men and women during recent USO
tours, so the military holds a special place in my heart. I hope other
Americans will join me and Harley-Davidson in saluting these real life heroes
during the month of November."
Modern Take on Nostalgic Military Imagery
The Military Appreciation Month campaign pays tribute to nostalgic military
imagery through photorealism. The ads and other creative materials feature
Miller wearing uniforms representing all five branches of the military next to
military-styled Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
The campaign will be featured in a number of executions, including:
-- Advertorials in service branch magazines
-- Print ads in several national publications
-- Banner advertising
-- Exclusive posters, postcards and calendars available at local
Harley-Davidson dealerships throughout the U.S.
-- A special section of the Harley-Davidson Web site -
www.harley-davidson.com/thankyou -- where you can create an electronic
postcard with artwork of Miller and Harley-Davidson motorcycles along
with a personal message of gratitude that you can send to an active or
retired member of the U.S. military
-- A promotion with Maxim magazine that will offer the opportunity for
one
active or retired military personnel member to win a new
Harley-Davidson
motorcycle - personally delivered by Miller
"We're excited to have Marisa's support to help us during our first-ever
Military Appreciation Month," said Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson's director
of Advertising and Promotions. "We're certain she'll be helpful in
encouraging other Americans to join us in recognizing and thanking those who
serve our country."
