KANE WILLIAMSON’S SPONSORS

ROCKIT APPLE

Kiwi apple company Rockit Global Limited, popular for its miniature Rockit™ apple variety, signed Kane Williamson as its ambassador in August 2020. Rockit Apples are cleaned, washed and then packed directly into their handy tubes, which are recyclable.

Williamson said about the agreement: “I love getting hands-on with the brands I align with, and Rockit is a great product – one that I’m passionate about driving forward.”

 

GRAY-NICOLLS

Kane is also in partnership with Gray-Nicolls, a bat manufacturing company. Kane has been seen promoting the brand’s latest Australia-New Zealand range on his Instagram handle.

 

ASICS

Sporting company Asics roped in Williamson in 2017, and he has since been seen in a number of campaigns for the brand and has also donned its apparel.

 

POWERADE

This deal with Powerade is a perfect one for the New Zealand skipper, given his affinity for sports and energy drinks.

 

SEAGRAM’S ROYAL STAG

In December 2018, Seagram’s Royal Stag roped in several players for its new campaign “It Starts with You. Make it Large”. One of the players in the campaign was Kane Williamson, and he featured in some adverts for the brand as well.
