Betano Celebrates UEFA EURO 2024™ and CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 with Latest Marketing Campaigns
360° campaigns further promote the brand’s role as the official global sponsor of this year’s biggest football competitions
The Summer of Football is in full swing and Kaizen Gaming’s premium brand Betano is celebrating the excitement and unifying quality of UEFA EURO 2024™️ and CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 with two unique 360° marketing campaigns.
Launched first, and at the heart of Betano’s UEFA EURO 2024™️ campaign, is its new video advert, broadcast on TV channels and published online in Portugal, Germany, Romania, Czechia, Bulgaria, and Ontario, Canada, throughout the tournament. Betano’s latest advert transports viewers to a fictional universe where characters such as Big Foot, super villains, wrestlers and rocket scientists remind each other to “hold it” because the European Championship is here. Instead of their usual activities, it’s time to have fun, hang out with friends and enjoy watching Europe’s greatest players battle it out in Germany.
Pablo Puertas, Marketing Director of Kaizen Gaming, commented, “The UEFA EURO 2024™️ is all about bringing people together to celebrate and enjoy the beautiful game. With high cinema-like production values, a diverse casting selection and strong brand visual cues, our campaign brings the excitement of UEFA EURO 2024 to life across Europe. Being the first official gaming and betting partner of the European Championship, we are proud to be playing an important part in promoting and supporting one of football’s premium competitions.”
Also, getting the Betano treatment this year is the CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024. Focusing on dispelling the many myths around football in the Americas, Betano’s new campaign challenges the views expressed by people like French star, Kylian Mbappe, who have suggested that football is less competitive and developed than in Europe.
“The idea that football in the Americas is anything other than as advanced, exciting and competitive as anywhere else in the world is absurd,” said Pablo Puertas. “When these comments were made, footballers and fans throughout the Americas united and responded to defend the quality, the level and the football passion on the continent. As a company heavily invested in Latin America we wanted to create a campaign that would speak to the hearts and minds of all the fans. It also served us as a way of introducing our ‘Confia’ creative platform across the continent, product of our recent collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy”.
Betano’s Summer of Football campaigns go beyond the traditional formats, aiming to engage audiences through multiple touchpoints including radio, OOH and experiential activations, which focus on creating memorable experiences for fans in every country Betano is present.
The brand is hosting Fan Zones in Germany (Berlin, Munich, and Dortmund) and in Bulgaria (Sofia) while in Portugal (Lisbon) the Betano Euro Village is stealing the limelight. Providing giant screens showing all the tournament matches and a festival-like atmosphere, fans can also purchase food and enjoy live entertainment. Over in Romania and Czechia, Betano is working with local influencers to further promote EURO 2024TM through online activations that unite more people in the celebration of football.
Of course, Betano is also present in Copa América Fan Zones too, with the most prominent among them being the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The fan zone, which Betano is sponsoring, is located at the Copacabana beach and is very popular with fans. In Brazil’s three matches of the group stage, over 21 thousand fans attended the venue, while TV stations were there, covering the fans’ reactions.
