A global TCL marketing campaign will include digital, print, television and outdoor assets. TCL also provided its products to support the movie during the shooting of the film. Further extending the movie tie-in, TCL will package digital copies of the movie with the purchase of an award-winning TCL Roku TV™ when “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” is released for home media distribution later this year.

The brand will host an exclusive pre-screening event at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 28.

“We are excited to be a marketing partner of ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,’” said Chris Larson, Vice President, TCL North America. “The ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise has a legacy of delivering high quality entertainment experiences, which aligns with TCL’s goal to offer consumers high quality products with superior content, stylish design, and the latest technology at a great value.
