Alongside the announcement, theScore has also revealed its latest advertising campaign, complete with the tagline “Get Into Bet Mode”.The campaign consists of a series of 30-second ads featuring former Saturday Night Live cast member and comedy actor Jon Lovitz, Suits star Patrick J. Adams and world-famous Canadian comedian Russell Peters.
The ads focus on theScore’s Bet Mode function, which offers additional data, content, live odds and live bet tracking to users of theScore’s media app.
The function is a staple of theScore’s integrated media and betting experience and helps remove the friction between placing bets and enjoying sports, the firm said.
In addition to the full 30-second ads, the campaign will also feature six- and 15-second spots, as well as a series of social ads, radio, digital and out-of-home assets.
“We’re bringing back our Get Into Bet Mode campaign with new themes and new talent as we enter the action packed fall sports season,” commented Levy.
“This new campaign phase is tailored toward educating fans, many of whom re-engage in the fall, on key theScore Bet product enhancements and features. Specifically, we’ve significantly upgraded our product with increased sports betting options and have expanded our iCasino catalogue,” he concluded.
