Italian Serie A launches ground-breaking Regional Broadcast Sponsorship

Oct 25th 2016

A ground breaking regional partnership was launched over the weekend. Wellbet, the online gaming company that is quickly becoming one of the most popular online entertainment sites in Asia, and Lega Serie A, arguably one of the most popular football leagues in the world; launched a multi-season, regional sponsorship deal across this weekend’s live Serie A games.

Interregional Sports Group (ISG), the regionalising media specialists, working with Infront Italia, the official advisors to Lega Serie A, have spent almost two years developing this new exciting category of International Presenting Sponsor. This ‘world-first’ package comprehensively integrates the Wellbet brand into all match graphics, idents and virtual goal-mat advertising in all live Serie A matches broadcast across all platforms, over the whole of Asia for a number of seasons.

This is also complimented by the use of extensive on and off-line assets with Lega Serie A and activation programs across many Asian countries.
A spokesperson for Lega Serie A emphasized “that this agreement represented a significant regional partnership and reflected the ongoing commitment to Lega Serie A’s International growth.

“We are very proud to be able to use groundbreaking regionalising technologies and strategies to be able to help create this brand new category for Lega Serie A and provide such a spectacular media platform for WELLBET across the pan-Asian broadcast footprint.” Said Simon Burgess, joint CEO of ISG.
