ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYS: ARW) today announced that it will launch a corporate advertising campaign during the NCAA Division I men's basketball Final Four games on April 6 and April 8.

"This is the right time to define our identity to the broader marketplace and convey the extent of our reach across the technology landscape, and the true breadth of our offering, to customers, suppliers and employees," said Rich Kylberg, vice president, corporate communications and global marketing, Arrow. "Our advertisements will highlight and celebrate the role innovators past and present have played, and will continue to play, in creating the very best of what is 'next' for the world. They also provide a powerful platform for us to begin to share the Arrow story for the first time on a national scale and raise the profile for the industry as a whole."
Arrow's advertisements are scheduled to run during both national semifinal games on Saturday, April 6, as well as the championship game on Monday, April 8. For interested media, screen shots of the commercials and more information on the campaign are available by contacting Arrow at 303-824-4188 or dsmall@arrow.com.
