INFINITI announced as Major Partner

1.4 million dollar profit, Zurich comes on board closely followed by Infiniti.  PJ and co. have done it again and the future for the club couldn't look brighter!

Yay! We got a new sponsor a week away from Round One. Better late than never. I assumed the "Big Announcement" was that loyal,  paid-up & p'eed off supporters were launching a class action, (through one of or favourite legal firms in Melbourne that love this stuff), against all our boards that continually over-rated our list and potential year after year. And yeah, I've heard all the tripe first-hand. We have eyes, we saw what happened. Big Announcement will actually be us cracking the top four this year. And if you give a fig, I'm backing them. We finally have a settled board and  exciting team.

[Adam The God 30,646]

Wondered where this had gotten to. Great news though.

It's exciting we've managed to land another sponsor, but I'm most excited about seeing those three guys in the same picture. Lever, Hogan and Petracca. Wowza, we're spoilt for young talent.

PJ has been the recruit of the decade.

Could we go for recruit of this century?

[daisycutter 29,940]

in these days of instant click cut and paste you'd think someone could have dragged the infinity logo to our corporate sponsors web page.

So it turns out there was a Japanese luxury car brand waiting in the wings.

Has he what

[Sir Why You Little 37,373]

Players must uphold their end of a contract now. Our fixture is still a wasteland for coverage, compared to other sides. 

We have to beat teams on their turf, repeatedly. Infiniti want exposure, and there is only one way to get it

[Mickey 4,774]

Sounds like a big deal. Jay Clark mentioned in his article on Hogan tonight that the sponsorship is worth 7 figures (not sure if per year or overall)

I’m going to go with another major sponsor. Lexus, Infiniti or Tesla.

I prefer it not be a new state of the art home/training base. It’s not much use to me over here.

like ya thunking et.

I agreed, but really its been a team effort, on/offfield.  Without one part, the others suffer.

together, they are like brothers in arms.

What happens to iSelect in that case?

I'm not against it commercially but we have had issues under previous administrations of treating sponsors poorly. Hankook comes to mind.

They may be cool with no longer being the back of jumper sponsor and only viewed it as stop gap. Would like to know what the situation is however.

 

Previous admins....... PJ

Wouldnt think that would be an issue CBF.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Whatever happened to AHG?

I wouldn't have thought PJ would be that craven either. Just was curious as to where they stood with the jumper.

Craven, I’m sure he is but only to a certain level. He knows his business and providing value to sponsors is key. I’ve mentioned before but I’ve seen PJ and Mahns at a couple of sponsors events and they gave more than enough time for the sponsor. 

Lastly they would only have x amount of top line jumper sponsors and those are already taken by ISelect and Zurich.

profit problems

I remember a great video the club did last year with Maxy interviewing the kids when we hit 40K members, and the message at the end of the video was to aim for infinity members in 2018

weve gone one better with Infiniti sponsors instead!

really proud of our club right now, and feeling a bit ashamed of the survey feedback I gave back in 2014 saying that our club was irrelevant.

Twitter is a terrible measure of brand engagement these days.

True, but it is used nevertheless. (is that 3 words or one?)
