Premium Swiss chocolatier Lindt and Roger Federer, Lindt’s newly appointed Global Brand Ambassador, have teamed up to launch “The Perfect Match” sweepstakes -- an online game offering consumers the chance to win a variety of premium chocolate prizes and the opportunity to meet the Swiss tennis star.

Consumers are invited to visit www.lindt.com to participate in “The Perfect Match” sweepstakes, a game matching different flavors of Lindt’s iconic, smooth-melting Lindor Truffles. Now through Sept. 12, visitors can enter daily to win prizes such as Lindt Chocolate gift cards ($25-$100 in value), gift baskets containing premium Lindt products, Lindor Truffle gift towers and Nike duffle bags autographed by Federer and filled with Lindor Truffles.

Five lucky players will receive a three-day trip for two to New York this summer, where they can watch Federer in action as he plays in one of the biggest tennis events of the year: the U.S. Open. In addition, all players will be entered in the grand-prize sweepstakes for a chance to win a three-day trip for two to Zurich, Switzerland, to visit Lindt’s global headquarters. During the trip, the winner will attend a meet-and-greet with Federer and take a personalized tour of the historic Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate plant.

“The values Federer and Lindt share -- Swiss, premium, passion, quality -- makes our partnership a ‘perfect match,’” says Thomas Linemayr, chief executive officer and president of Lindt USA. “Our sweepstakes is a great way for consumers to get a personal taste of our Swiss heritage, and experience the enjoyment of our premium chocolate and tennis-related prizes.”

The sweepstakes is being promoted at point-of-sale with various stickers on Lindor Truffle bags, headers on Lindor and Excellence shippers, and tear pads.
