Ideas for Leon Speakers’ Next Spokesman
Leon Speakers kicked off an ad campaign featuring renowned recording artist Leon Russell.
The company has had a different "I am Leon" ad almost every month this year showcased in our magazine, including the latest, featuring Leon Russell, just in time to coincide with Russell's beautiful new album, The Union, in which he teamed with Sir Elton John, who has made no secret of the strong impact Russell has had in his own ultra-successful career.
Here's Russell's snippet in the ad: "I've recorded hundreds of albums spanning five decades. From the Grammys to the Grand Ole Opry, I've been on my share of stages and earned my share of Gold. But for my custom tailored Leon system, I chose pearl white. I am Leon Russell. And I ... am Leon."
That's quite a coup for Leon Speakers, and kudos to their creative team.
Only problem is, out of the entire campaign, Russell is the only one profiled whose name is actually Leon!
We thought it would be courteous to offer our friends some ideas for continuing this campaign in 2011:
I am Leon Spinks: I'm a former heavyweight champion of the world, and these Leon Speakers will knock you out!
I am Leon Washington: I'm a lightning-quick kickoff return specialist, and these Leon Speakers are a sure touchdown!
I am Leon Uris: I'm a world-famous novelist, and these Leon Speakers have the "write" stuff!
I am Ponce de Leon: I'm a globe-trotting explorer who went searching for the fountain of youth, and these Leon Speakers will last forever!
And, of course, I am Leon Trotsky: I'm a Bolshevik who helped form the former Soviet Union, and these Leon Speakers are revolutionary!

I am Leona Helmsley. I don’t pay for speakers. Only little people pay for speakers.
I am Kings of Leon and this speaker rocks rock.

I am Leon, Juan Ponce de.. Could’n't find the fountain of youth, and died trying.
