Los Angeles Premiere Sponsored by LG Mobile Phones

LOS ANGELES, June 23, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A. Inc. (LG Mobile Phones), in partnership with upcoming film, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures in association with Hasbro, launched a comprehensive multi-discipline marketing campaign tied to the highly anticipated summer film in theatres on June 24. As part of the overall campaign, LG Mobile Phones participated in the U.S. premiere of the film in Los Angeles on June 22 as the presenting sponsor of the event.

The tie-in campaign includes a customized television commercial directed by "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" director Michael Bay. An in-store consumer promotion with Verizon Wireless also kicked off nationwide. The promotion allows consumers to enter a sweepstakes automatically when they send to their friends or family one of three pre-recorded phone messages from Optimus Prime®. In addition, LG launched a movie-themed micro site, www.uncoverlg.com, which includes an engaging and interactive online game. To round out the already compelling campaign, LG announced earlier this year at CTIA their limited edition Versa for the movie tie-in. The phone is available only through consumer promotions.

"Fully integrated programs give us the capacity to reach our consumers where it matters most," said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG Mobile Phones. "Working with the studio on a high profile film franchise like Transformers provides us another rewarding opportunity to create a partnership that relates different types of technology in our consumers' lives and imaginations. We share in the enthusiasm around these cutting-edge movies and value their ability to entertain while LG brings the stories to reality."

"This LG campaign with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a best-in-class example of a brand effectively leveraging the assets of a movie," commented LeeAnne Stables, executive vice president of worldwide marketing partnerships for Paramount Pictures. "They have creatively aligned their product with the excitement building around the film while delivering benefit to the LG brand in the marketplace."
