Hulu has expanded its “Hulu Sellouts” campaign to include New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley.
Spanning billboards, digital ads, TV commercials and more, the national marketing campaign features professional athletes as they flaunt their earnings and promote the “Hulu Has Live Sports” tagline. This time, however, Barkley is in the midst of creating a strange new concept, Hulu Has Live Sports ‘20: The Video Game—a game where players simply watch football.
“Who would want to play this?” Barkley asks.
“It’s not about play. It’s about pay,” his agent responds.
