Company Continues
Long-Standing Support of Live Music with New Venue
Sponsorship
LOS
ANGELES, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance (NYSE: MCY), a longtime supporter of live music,
will be amping up the summer concertgoing experience at the North
Island Credit Union Amphitheatre (NICUA) in San Diego. Music lovers will have more than
just music to enjoy during NICUA concerts, with fan experiences
designed to excite the eyes as well as the ears.
"Seeing your favorite artist live is an incredible experience,
and we wanted to help make each show a night to remember for
Mercury customers and music fans from all walks of life," said
Erik Thompson, VP & CMO of
Mercury Insurance. "We've created some amazing experiences that
will help San Diego music lovers
forge unforgettable memories with family and friends this
summer."
A key feature of the sponsorship is an art installation from
world-renowned muralist Nigel
Sussman, who created a 75-foot mural that blends
San Diego landmarks, music and
fanciful characters that will delight fans of all ages. The mural
is located on the upper concourse behind the Mercury Insurance
Sunset Deck and is a fun-filled tribute to rock and popular
music.
"Nigel created an amazing work of art," said Thompson. "I think
concertgoers will have a lot of fun trying to identify references
to 21 songs that he incorporated into the mural."
Sussman's signature style is represented by isometric line art
and a striking but simple color palette, creating seek-and-find
type illustrations that feature complex fantasy architecture and/or
imaginary machines. He has worked in the past with such notable
companies as Google, eBay and Adidas, and not to mention the highly
successful "Where's Bailey" collaboration with Mercury and the
Los Angeles Kings. More information can be found at Sussman's
website, nigelsussman.com.
Concertgoers will also have access to the Mercury 360 photo
booth, which provides fans with free, high-resolution videos to
commemorate their concert experience. And if they post the video on
social media using #MercuryMusic, Mercury will be looking to
surprise and delight a lucky few with a pair of tickets to a future
show.
An image of Sussman's mural and video of the Mercury 360 photo
booth can be found here.
Mercury is also offering special amenities for their customers
to help elevate the experience:
- The Mercury Fast Lane – Customers and up to three
guests can skip the lines by using the Mercury Fast Lane
entrance.
- Free Lawn Chair Rentals – Customers and up to three
guests can enjoy the concert with free seating.
Mercury Insurance has been a supporter of live music since 2013,
when the company began sponsoring events at several venues in
Southern California. That support grew with the introduction
of the Mercury Insurance Concert Series (MICS), which began at the
FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine
and continued online during the pandemic. Mercury moved its
support to NICUA following the closure of FivePoint in October
2023.
Headquartered in Los Angeles,
Mercury Insurance provides auto, homeowners and business insurance
through more than 4,700 employees and a network of more than 8,000
independent agents in 11 states.
