SEOUL, Oct. 15 (Korea Bizwire) — LG Electronics Inc., a major home appliance maker in South Korea, on Thursday said it has named Formula One star Lewis Hamilton as a brand ambassador for its luxury line of premium products.
LG said Hamilton will promote the LG Signature brand, which the company uses for its high-end products.
Hamilton, a six-time Formula One world champion, is considered one of the best racing drivers in the history of the sport. The 35-year-old Brit recently drew level with Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 Formula One wins.
