Subject: Is Kenny Powers a Pitchman for the HTC One?
Kenny Powers, the profane protagonist of HBO's Eastbound and Down, may have picked up a real-life endorsement deal for the HTC One. The character, played by Danny McBride, lobbed a few tweets recently that seem to be designed to raise awareness for the new device:
However, HTC told Advertising Age that the brand isn't paying for an endorsement: "We noticed the Kenny Powers Twitter account was actively talking [about] the HTC One and helped them get their hands on a device. We don't have an endorsement or paid relationship. We merely helped get the device into the hands of a fan." |
