Subaru will play an important role in FanX 2017, specifically
through providing official Salt Lake Comic Con vehicles, a
significant presence at ongoing Salt Lake Comic Con and FanX
events, as well as other joint community involvement such as movie
screenings, and a soon to be announced partnership with the Humane
Society.
Subaru vehicles are renowned for their safety, longevity,
versatility and have one of the highest residual values in the U.S.
Today, the Subaru product line features the all-new 2017 Impreza,
as well as the WRX, STI, BRZ, Legacy, Outback, Forester, and
Crosstrek.
“We’re excited to partner with Salt Lake Comic Con and be a part
of what is considered to be one of the premier comic cons in the
country,” said Charles Lamoureux, Zone Retailer Marketing Manager,
Western Region, at Subaru of America. “We look forward to
supporting Salt Lake Comic Con in its innovative approach to making
their fans dreams come true and teaming with them to make a
positive impact in the Salt Lake community.”
“We’re pleased to partner with a company like Subaru and the
local Wasatch Front Subaru Retailers,” said Dan Farr, Salt Lake
Comic Con Founder and Show Producer. “Subaru and their local
retailers are committed to their customers, employees and the
communities in which they do business, which aligns perfectly with
our core values and makes this alliance a natural fit.”
FanX 2017 will provide fans with a more intimate, up close and
personal experience with their favorite pop culture icons and fun,
family-oriented and affordable FanXperience. In addition to
celebrity appearances, Fanx17 will feature official Stan Lee
merchandise, a Tattoo Pavilion, a Sword Experience, new
merchandise, comicbook artists and creators, authors and
panelists.
As part of the sponsorship, Subaru and Salt Lake Comic Con will
partner with the Utah Humane Society to create a give back program
to support animals throughout Utah. Specific details of the program
will be announced at a later date, but the program will include a
matching donation from both the Wasatch Front Subaru Retailers and
Salt Lake Comic Con.
“By partnering with a respected brand like Subaru, it builds on
the credibility we’ve worked so hard to establish and sends a clear
message to fans, celebrities, artists and authors that our
reputation is attracting world class companies, guests and
partners,” said Bryan Brandenburg, Salt Lake Comic Con Co-Founder
and Chief Marketing Officer. “We look forward to building on this
relationship and continuing to innovate and provide our fans with
the experiences that will meet and exceed their expectations and
help shape the way comic cons and pop culture events are conducted
here in the United States and throughout the world.”
