LG SIGNATURE Debuts World’s First Rollable TV Campaign At American Ballet Theatre’s Summer Celebration
LG SIGNATURE, the ultra-premium brand from LG Electronics known for world-class design and cutting-edge innovations, is extending its partnership with the acclaimed American Ballet Theatre (ABT) for 2021. As the long-standing exclusive ABT Global Electronics Partner, LG SIGNATURE debuted its See Beyond marketing campaign for the world’s first rollable TV, LG SIGNATURE OLED R, featuring brand ambassador Misty Copeland, ABT’s first African American female principal dancer.
Reflecting the spirit of innovation and creativity cultivated throughout the pandemic, ABT’s Summer Celebration opened with the LG SIGNATURE OLED R as a performance curtain, extending to Full View mode to display new works by Silas Farley, Helen Pickett and James Whiteside. Following opening remarks by the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden, ABT’s Summer Celebration segued into dazzling incomparable performances and featured honorees who generously offered their time and talent to sustain ABT over the past 18 months. With its conclusion, the world’s first rollable TV collapsed into Zero View, a setting that displays the speaker as a work of art.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with ABT, which helps bring the arts to enthusiasts around the globe through new channels,” said Peggy Ang, senior vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA, which markets the super-premium LG SIGNATURE products in the U.S. “Similar to ABT, our desire to explore new concepts is always growing – culminating with the introduction of the world’s first rollable TV in the U.S. market, which illustrates the enduring spirit of LG’s artistry and vision.”
“As we seek to engage and inspire the widest possible audience with the dynamism and vitality of ABT’s world-class artists, committed partners like LG SIGNATURE are essential and cherished,” said Kara Medoff Barnett, Executive Director at American Ballet Theatre. “This year’s virtual Summer Celebration is a testament to our combined passion, as we work together to usher in a new era of art and innovation.”
Lauded as an engineering and user-centric triumph, the LG SIGNATURE OLED R (model 65RX) reimagines the TV experience by disappearing at the touch of a button to liberate users from the limitations of a wall for a more thoughtfully curated living space. Built using an ultra-thin, flexible 4K OLED screen made from one sheet of glass, LG SIGNATURE OLED R features luminous display technology composed of over 8 million self-lit pixels that deliver superior, vivid picture quality and is powered by LG’s fourth generation α (Alpha) 9 intelligent processor for best-in-class visuals.
Most notably, the TV transforms into three different heights to expand the user experience from watching content to exploring mood lighting, listening to music, smart home control and much more. For each unit ordered, customers will receive white glove delivery and installation service to ensure a seamless set-up experience, including access to LG SIGNATURE’s Concierge Service.
