Sportsbet injects the ‘roid in Tour De France in new guerilla advertising via BMF Australia
Sportsbet and BMF have injected the ‘roid in the Tour de France by painting their slogan ‘Putting the ‘Roid in Android’ onto the actual route of Stage 18.
The online bookmakers’ slogan for its new Android App appeared at several sections on the road at Col d’Izoard. Race leader Chris Froome (pictured below) was undeterred by the graffiti and is $1.04 to win his fourth tour.
Says Will Byrne, Sportsbet: “Our new Android App is dope so why not sing it from the mountain tops of the French Alps.”
The guerilla advertising is part of the campaign that launched Sportsbet’s new faster, more powerful Android App.
Endorsed by experts in performance enhancement, Ben Johnson, 100m Gold Medalist* and Co. reached a potential 959 million people globally, received coverage in more than 667 media outlets, resulting in an earned media value of $8.9 million.
