Jason Kelce Joins Marriott Bonvoy as First ‘Fanbassador’

Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles star and Super Bowl champion, has found a new role off the field as the inaugural ‘Fanbassador’ for Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, the Official Hotel Partner of the NFL. After retiring last season following a 13-year career, Kelce has transitioned into this exciting position, where he will engage with NFL fans in unique, football-themed experiences throughout the 2024 NFL season.

Kelce, known for his leadership on the field and his popular podcast with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, is now taking on a new challenge. As the ‘Fanbassador,’ he will be at the center of a series of exclusive “Marriott Bonvoy Moments.” These Moments allow Marriott Bonvoy members to bid points for a variety of once-in-a-lifetime NFL-related experiences inspired by Kelce himself.

Starting on September 5, 2024, and continuing every Thursday throughout the NFL season, Kelce will unveil new Marriott Bonvoy Moments that fans can redeem or bid on. The experiences range from a gameday pool party with Kelce to a personalized punishment for the loser of a fantasy football league. These unique opportunities offer fans a chance to interact with Kelce and experience the NFL in ways that go beyond watching games on television.

Kelce expressed his enthusiasm for his new role: “During my playing days, I was able to see and experience firsthand the unrivaled passion of NFL fans. Now, finished playing, I could not be more excited to spend my first season as a full-time fan helping fuel those same passions by teaming up with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, the home of NFL fans everywhere. As the ‘Fanbassador,’ this collaboration is about celebrating all of the things that make NFL fans special and providing them opportunities to get closer to the game they love like never before.”

The collaboration runs throughout the 2024 NFL season, culminating in Super Bowl LIX in February 2025. Some of the standout Marriott Bonvoy Moments that will be available include:

• Pool Party with Jason Kelce: For just 1 Marriott Bonvoy point, members can join Kelce to watch a game from the rooftop pool at a Courtyard by Marriott in Los Angeles.
• Fantasy Football Punishment: The winner of an auction will have Kelce decide the punishment for the loser of their fantasy football league.
• Mystery Moment in Philadelphia: Fans can show up at a Courtyard by Marriott in Philadelphia and enjoy a surprise experience curated by Kelce.

Brian Povinelli, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Marketing and Brand at Marriott, highlighted the excitement surrounding the partnership: “As a player, Jason Kelce inspired an entire generation of fans to pursue the game they love, and we could not think of a more perfect NFL fan to be the first-ever Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott ‘Fanbassador’ than him. Each of these experiences is designed to ignite the same enthusiasm and love of the game that Jason embodies, creating unforgettable memories for our members and guests.”

As the season kicks off, Marriott Bonvoy members will have weekly opportunities to engage with Kelce and the NFL in creative and exciting ways. With experiences like these, fans can get closer to the game they love and create unforgettable memories all season long.
