Purple Stages a Comeback at BringingPurpleBack.com

Purple is redefining itself as a color leader thanks to the Purple Sony Ericsson Z750a. Once only known as the hue stuck between red and blue, Purple and the people who love it are on a mission to raise awareness and understanding for the often under appreciated color. Sony Ericsson is proud to announce support for the Purple movement and is challenging consumers to aid Purple in its comeback at BringingPurpleBack.com.

To join the Purple revolution, consumers can register at BringingPurpleBack.com and be entered to win a Z750a or the grand-prize, a pair of designer shoes(a) worth $600.(b) To further demonstrate their Purple passion, consumers are encouraged to take pictures or shoot videos illustrating how they are bringing purple back to prominence and add them to their favorite social networking site. Then they simply submit the link at BringingPurpleBack.com, where the best purple power pictures and videos will be posted. Additionally, consumers can pledge their allegiance to Purple at the Bringing Purple Back Facebook Fan Page.

“Purple has been ignored for too long while other popular colors such as pink, yellow and black seem to get all the attention,” said Karen Morris, vice president of marketing, Sony Ericsson North America. “With this campaign, we hope to remind the world just what an exciting and appealing color Purple really is, and we want to give Purple lovers a way to share their passion for this under appreciated color. At Sony Ericsson, we are meticulous about design and color, and the fact that Purple is a growing favorite among ‘fashionistas’ is yet another indication that it is time for Purple to have its day.”

Available in the U.S. exclusively through AT&T, the Sony Ericsson Z750a has a mirrored clamshell design with a hidden exterior display that comes to life when the phone is in use. The Z750a features mobile broadband for a high-speed Internet(1) connection and access to multimedia content that complements its multimedia player, 2.0 megapixel camera, Internet(1) browser and e-mail(2) capability using AT&T’s Mobile Email application.
