During the biggest football game of the season on February 13, Intuit QuickBooks unveilled a 30-second ad, the first-ever commercial for The Big Game dedicated to the QuickBooks and Mailchimp brands. 

The spot from Intuit, the global technology platform that makes QuickBooks, TurboTax, Mint, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp, features Grammy award-winning musician and producer, DJ Khaled and aired in the fourth quarter. The ad is part of QuickBooks’ new Early Start campaign that’s focused on helping new entrepreneurs succeed while navigating the duality of emotions many small business owners experience when pursuing their passions.

“Our ad celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and reveals the range of emotions that come with starting a small business. From excitement and confidence in their craft to anxiety and uncertainty about how to manage critical business operations, the ad blends this emotional journey with humour helped by DJ Khaled,” said Dan McCarthy, senior vice president, chief business officer at Intuit. “We're excited to have this incredible opportunity to inspire the millions of new entrepreneurs who will be watching the game and spotlight how QuickBooks and Mailchimp can help them succeed.”

They were surprised with the growth grants last week and also received free one-year subscriptions to QuickBooks Online and Mailchimp. These efforts are part of Intuit’s long term commitment to the L.A. area to power prosperity in the local community, which includes its Prosperity Hub School District program that empowers the next generation of students to develop entrepreneurial and financial skills.
