Sergey Karshkov has extensive experience of the marketing industry as the founder of the full service, market-leading advertising agency 9 Pandas. This article will explore 9 Pandas’ partnership with Fonbet, producing creative concepts for Fonbet’s long-term advertising campaign.
9 Pandas partnered with Fonbet prior to the commencement of Euro 2020, producing two videos for the event. One was a TV commercial without actors, while the other was an online video incorporating actors.
Today, online video is an extremely powerful advertising channel, a topic explored in the embedded PDF. It is an effective tool for advertisers seeking to deliver compelling content to their target audience.
