Monster Worldwide and the NFL have announced the winner of their NFL Director of Fandemonium contest that launched during Super Bowl XLIII.
After 32 finalists were interviewed for the role over two days last month at the NFL’s New York headquarters, Rainier “Onyx” Herrera has been declared the winner.
Herrera, a Hawaii native who has been a devoted NFL fan for more than 30 years, will take home a $100,000 signing bonus, as well as take part in the behind-the-scenes action, with never-before-granted access, at several marquee NFL events during the 2009 season. His responsibilities kicked off last weekend in New York City when he announced a second-round pick at the 2009 NFL Draft.
“Admittedly, we are a bit football deprived here in Hawaii, but that has never diminished my love for the sport of football,” said Herrera. “I seriously do have ‘fandemonium fever’ – that intense passion and drive for the game. Put simply, being selected the Director of Fandemonium is a dream job for me – one I’ve been ‘training’ for since I was a kid.”
“Onyx is exactly what we were looking for in a Director of Fandemonium,” said Ted Gilvar, executive vice president and chief global marketing officer, Monster. “He’s a really outgoing, regular guy who lives and breathes the NFL. We had 32 great candidates to choose from but Onyx clearly earned the role over the grueling two-day interview process.”
