For decades, Sharpie has been the go-to tool for signatures and self-expression on red carpets and beyond. Now, the brand is making it official, spotlighting its role in unforgettable pop culture moments and tapping into the AMAs' tradition of celebrating music's boldest talents. Together, Sharpie and the AMAs are turning up the volume on fearless ambition and individuality, boldly exemplified by Sharpie's support of Megan Moroney.
“Megan embodies the spirit of what Sharpie stands for, bold, authentic, and just getting started,” said Gina Lazaro, Vice President, Brand Management, Writing at Newell Brands. “Sharpie has a long-standing history in pop culture, from being the autograph tool of choice to supporting up-and-comers through our 'Rookie of the Year' program, now in its second year. Our partnership with Megan at the AMAs shows our continued support of rising talent.”
Megan Moroney, nominated this year for Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album (Am I Okay?), left her literal mark at the show. She used Sharpie for autographs throughout the night and is joining the brand to give back. Sharpie will donate autographed memorabilia to a charitable auction benefiting the Easy Day Foundation, supporting veterans and their families. A few lucky Sharpie fans will be able to win their own signed items as well.
“I'll never forget the first time a fan asked me to sign something, and I needed a Sharpie. I can never go anywhere without one now!” said Megan Moroney.
Following the show, Sharpie also made its mark at the exclusive AMAs after party, offering a one-of-a-kind experience where guests received custom sketches and captured their own bold moments in the Sharpie glam booth.
This partnership celebrates the power of creativity and personal expression – because bold moves deserve bold marks.
