GUESTS CAN JOIN IN ON THE 5OTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH 71P BURGERS AT HARD ROCK CAFE GLASGOW AVAILABLE ON MONDAY 14TH JUNE, FOR ONE DAY ONLY!
Since opening the doors of the first Hard Rock Cafe in London in 1971, Hard Rock International has established itself as one of the most globally recognised companies in the world. The brand is kicking off its anniversary celebrations by unveiling a new partnership with footballer Lionel Messi, who will serve as brand ambassador for the next five years, as the first athlete to partner with Hard Rock.
The partnership is part of "Live Greatness", a new campaign that Hard Rock has launched on its 50th Anniversary, which marks a before and after in the brand, honoring its past and shining a beacon of light towards the future. As part of the campaign, Messi makes his debut as an ambassador starring in a commercial that originally unites his skills with the soccer ball as it takes its place among the cherished memorabilia of the brand.
To further celebrate the Live Greatness campaign, Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow are offering guests the chance to dive into their delicious Country Burger for 71p on Monday 14th June to commemorate Hard Rock’s founding in 1971. But customers will need to be quick as the special offer is only available to guests from 12pm-1pm and 5-6pm on 14th June!
Speaking about the new partnership, Lionel Messi said, “I am honoured to partner with such a renowned brand as Hard Rock, and even more so at this historic moment - its 50th Anniversary! Sports and music are an integral part of my life, a perfect combination between my profession and my leisure time. Uniting both is a great success, and I am very happy that they have counted on me for this special outcome. It is an honor to be the first athlete to partner with a brand who has a history of teaming with music legends."
Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International said, “Over the past five decades, the Hard Rock brand has grown to become one of the world’s most recognisable and beloved brands, with a Cafe, Hotel or Casino located in 68 countries. As we reached our 50th anniversary milestone, we knew that we needed to partner with an icon to help us celebrate in a new and unexpected way, and there was no better choice than the legendary Lionel Messi.”
Allen and Messi sealed the agreement with a gift exchange. Messi gave Allen a signed replica of his Golden Ball, a gesture that Allen reciprocated with an electric guitar designed especially for Messi. A replica of this guitar, signed by the player, will be displayed at a Hard Rock property to be announced soon, making it part the most valuable collection of musical objects in the world.
Partnering with Messi harkens back to Hard Rock’s roots, as the brand’s world-famous t-shirts came to fruition when the original London Cafe sponsored a local football team in the early 1970s. The team T-shirt featured the simple Hard Rock logo. The extra shirts were returned to the cafe and then given away to loyal customers. Eventually the restaurant had to set up a separate concession stand to handle T-shirt sales. To this day, Hard Rock’s Classic T-shirt remains an integral part of the brand’s identity.
As part of the new partnership, Hard Rock has also unveiled a new collection of merchandise inspired by its new ambassador. In addition to the special 50th anniversary logo, the garments show some of the player's most characteristic symbols, such as the lion, the number 10 and his own logo. This collection joins the brand's iconic merchandising line, available in all Hard Rock stores and online shop shop.hardrock.com/en-us/messi
