Encouraging Aussie punters to break free from the pack and stay ‘Ahead of the Game’, the online sportsbetting brand has launched its new brand platform with a fully integrated campaign directed by Tom Kuntz, starring enigmatic figure, The Goat.
To disrupt the current sports betting landscape and challenge market leaders, betr’s new brand positioning leans into a more modern and bold tone to match its ambitious and innovative offering.
“The market has been crying out for something more distinctive, and interesting in the sports betting space. At betr, we’re not interested in being part of the herd. This campaign, featuring The GOAT, talks to our ambition to stay ahead of the game and two steps ahead of the competition,” said Tony Thomas, CMO of betr.
“We are very excited about this new campaign for betr. The central tenant is based around ‘The goat’—the greatest of all time, who is literally, always one step ahead,” commented Matt Keon, CCO of TBWA\Sydney.
“In terms of disruption, we have genuinely disrupted the betting category. A category stuck in over stereotyped cliché portrayals of Aussies and created something distinctive that can work across all channels in potent ways.”
The campaign consists of a series of films produced by Good Oil, with practical animatronics created by Weta. The work runs nationally across all channels, working closely with PHD Media.
