Ninja® and Tom Brady Debut “Tom Upgrady” Campaign Featuring Surprise Backyard Upgrades

Brady goes door-to-door with Ninja’s outdoor lineup, surprising homeowners with new products

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: SN), the global product design and technology company, today introduced “Tom Upgrady”, a new campaign created in partnership with seven-time Super Bowl champion and SharkNinja global brand ambassador Tom Brady, designed to reimagine how families use and enjoy their outdoor spaces.

Despite 85% of U.S. households having outdoor space, 77% say they’re not using it as much as they’d like, according to the ICFA 2025 Outdoor Living Trend Report.¹ “Tom Upgrady” aims to change that by bringing high-performance outdoor products and inspiration directly to homeowners to show what’s possible with the right setup.

To kick off the campaign, Ninja^® and Brady surprised families across the greater Boston area, outfitting their backyards with products from Ninja’s outdoor portfolio, including the Ninja^® FlexFlame™ Outdoor Cooking System, Fireside360™ Outdoor Heater & Firepit, FrostVault™ Cooler, Woodfire Pro Connect™ Outdoor Grill & Smoker, and Artisan Electric Pizza & Outdoor Oven. Each family also received a surprise FaceTime call from Brady as the Tom Upgrady van arrived at their door.

“I’ve always believed winning starts with having the right tools. That’s true on the field, and it’s true in life. The backyard is one of my favorite places to slow down, grill some food, and enjoy time with family and friends,” said Tom Brady. “When you’ve got great equipment, everything just comes together. That’s what got me excited about teaming up with Ninja - being able to give families an incredible backyard experience right as summer kicks off.”

The Tom Upgrady campaign continues this summer, with Ninja^® inviting fans to share their own backyard setups by tagging @NinjaKitchen and using #TomUpgrady for a chance to receive the MVP treatment.
