same as i-select

ISelect started as our AFLW sponsor and then stepped up to men’s sponsor, ran into issues and have pulled back a lot of spend, Dees being 1 of those.

I was aware of that.  Doesn't change my view that it may have been deliberate.  For a start we don't know to whom they sent that release.

Companies know when people read, click, consume content, they would have waited until the time they believed it would deliver the biggest bang for buck. PR teams, marketing teams are all over this kind of stuff... allegedly.

Very interesting point and kudos for the $$ spent JLR. Hopefully they find value on the partnership and go around again.

Opel may be back with Commodore & Astra ++ Inchape looking at buying the Holden brand

I doubt the Aussie Market will touch them. 

Holden buyers feel very cheated if you read many online comments. They have hardly sold anything in the last year. 

Ford were smart. The Mustang is a Ford product people already connect with. 

GM left a hole ?

What about poor old Lane, when he wanted to end it all?

Jag wouldn’t start!!

Brilliant TV ?

Takes getting used to.

We used to have a Camry hybrid. Bloody brilliant thing...truly.

Said to A ... if they can make a SUV like this...that drives like it looks...can go a distance..  you're on a winner.

Hello Jaguar EPace

Would love one

That makes 2 sponsorships out from 2018 and 1 in for 2019.

We still seem to have a revolving door when it comes to sponsors. It would be nice to not have to worry about signing sponsors at the culmination of every year.

 

As for the $1m+ sponsorship, would that not mean that we lost $1m+ due to infiniti no longer sponsoring us?

1 co-principal partner out - iSelect. 1 co-principal partner in - Jaguar.

They are the jumper sponsors and the big ones to get signed and hopefully on multi year deals. I think the AFL brand protection rules would only be for that level of sponsor. Toyota can't be cheaply undercut by Mazda buying Gold Coast's jumper sponsorship for $200,000 is surely the idea there. For the lower level of sponsors I doubt the rule would apply. There's almost no way Infiniti would've paid us 1M+ to not even be a jumper sponsor last year.

In terms of Major Sponsors - which infinity was last year, they are the ones that get worn on the shorts and club polos and have match day activities. The website currently lists 8. Johnnie Walker, IG, China Southern, Haynes Paint, Chisholm, NT, New Balance, CSG.

Plenty of time to add more at that level. We've had multi year deals with those companies.

We could make them whistle as they go,  or play music externally, OD ?

This is a significant issue for people with visual impairments.  In the US, electric cars have to make a noise below 20 kmh.  It is an option that is switched off as normal in Australia, and is a real danger to visually impaired people in car parks...

Great TV.

Along with West Wing it can be watched multiple times and you still get new takes on issues.

Has to be the best ending ever to a series as well.

Yes Madmen and Breaking Bad both had superb endings, which after such an intense and long journey is so important...

Is the ‘J’ in Jaguar pronounced the same way as we pronounce the ‘J’ in Jagermeister? ‘Yaguar’?

I have been waiting for Jaguar to sponsor us just so i have an excuse to buy the worlds best sounding car.  The Jaguar F-Type SVR

Im waiting on the New Defender , next year they reckon.

Though the new jag's do have good reviews, and I think we are a good fit for us.  Hopefully multi-year.

naming rights?   the new 'Leverage' Defender... or maybe the 'Mayday' Defender ?

[Adam The God 30,112]

Does anyone know the commercial terms?

Great news to have the BOJ sponsor secured prior to Round 1. It shouldn't be difficult, but it has been.
