Stock Update (NASDAQ:GPRO): GoPro Inc and Ford Motor Company Launch Original Entertainment Series


GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) and Ford Motor Company are teaming up to develop an original content series that proves just what it means to be unstoppable. With this new series, GoPro will demonstrate its creative leadership, storytelling capabilities and ability to authentically highlight the spirit and personality of Ford’s SUV lineup – “Be Unstoppable” – in this unique programming.

“Fans of GoPro and Ford are experience seekers continually looking for ways to broaden their lives,” said Ocean MacAdams, Head of GoPro Entertainment. “We’re excited to join forces with Ford to further inspire consumers around the world.”

The series titled, “Unstoppable Life” will profile GoPro athletes who demonstrate the perserverence and determination on their respective life journeys. The first in the series follows Aaron Chase, a free ride mountain biker, as he makes a comeback from a life-altering injury and re-engages in top-level competition while balancing his commitment to family. The second tracks top-ranked pro climber Sasha DiGuillian as she balances the challenges of losing her father, with the demands of carrying a full academic load as a professional athlete. Both explore what it truly means to be unstoppable. The films will be shared to GoPro communities across their global channel platforms.

“Ford’s breadth of SUVs empower people to go out and do,” said Ginger Kasanic, Media Integration Manager, Ford Utility and Technology. “From exploring the city or traveling cross-country with your family, our SUVs are active enablers in the experiences that people seek out. Partnering with GoPro provides a global platform to create and connect with an audience that embodies the optimistic, confident, unstoppable spirit.” (Original Source)
