Saquon Barkley was drafted with the second overall pick by the New York Giants in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, following his three seasons of college football at Penn State. Throughout this time, he received national attention and finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting, while breaking and setting numerous Penn State records and earning multiple awards. According to Barkley, “I’ve always relied on Dunkin’ to get me through the day, so I’m thrilled to be working with a brand I’ve loved my whole life. Both Dunkin’ and the Giants are known for their loyal and passionate fans, and I look forward to keeping the New York area running on Dunkin’ all year-round.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to work with New York’s newest football star, Saquon Barkley,” said Cathy Chavenet, Integrated Marketing Director at Dunkin’. “Our brand has had a long and successful relationship with the New York Giants, and we think Saquon represents perfectly the speed, energy and optimism our guests throughout the Metro area associate with Dunkin’.”
The new partnership with Saquon Barkley coincides with the new Dunkin’ branding as part of the company’s efforts to modernize the Dunkin’ experience for its customers. Beginning in January 2019, a new logo that refers to the company name as simply “Dunkin'” will appear on packaging, in advertising, online and on new and remodeled restaurants.
