TORONTO, July 27, 2021 /CNW/ - NASDAQ (AMZN)
- Today, Amazon Canada announced a collaboration with
Canadian tennis champion Bianca
Andreescu to celebrate community this summer. No matter your
level of sports knowledge, Alexa has you covered. Fans are invited
behind the scenes to adopt the same Match Day routine as Bianca.
Alexa will play crowds cheering you on, give you a compliment, and
start a meditation skill when you say "Alexa, start Bianca's
routine." Click on this Routine, follow the steps, save and the
routine will be ready to go. They'll hear from Bianca herself as
she shares stories about her background, training, and how she
stays motivated. Just ask, "Alexa, what can I ask Bianca Andreescu?" or "Alexa, chat with
Bianca Andreescu" to get
started.
Also available today is the chance to test out your tennis
knowledge with Alexa. Think you can win the grand slam and answer
all 4 questions correctly? Winners who ace the quiz will get a
delightful surprise message from Bianca herself. Just say, "Alexa,
launch the tennis quiz."
"Even as someone who spends a lot of my time training for some
really tough challenges, nothing could have prepared us for the
last year and a half," said Bianca
Andreescu. "That's why I was so excited to lend my voice to
the Summer with Alexa experiences, to share some fun and hopeful
messages and stories with my fellow Canadians as we find our way
back to a new normal. I hope everyone has a great summer!"
Alexa is here to help customers in Canada stay entertained all summer long. When
customers say, "Alexa, let's celebrate summer," Alexa will reply
with a refreshing surprise. Try asking:
- "Alexa, what is one piece of advice from Bianca Andreescu?"
- "Alexa, who's your favourite athlete?"
