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.
Incorporating a TV advertising campaign, the Fonbet Euro 2020 project was designed to increase Fonbet’s visibility, expanding its reach to an audience of millions. With advertisements broken down into 10, 15, 20 and 30 second fragments, 9 Pandas aimed for universality, carefully crafting design concepts that would continue to be relevant even after the Euro 2020 tournament had ended.

After successfully bidding for the Fonbet Euro 2020 tender, the advertising agency joined forces with the Mishki Co. production company, filming a video ad that was aired in rotation throughout the UEFA Champions League Final.
The campaign was centred around the following key objectives:
- Attracting new clients
- Building an emotional bond with clients
- Removing first-bet barriers
- Advertising Euro 2020
- Delivering a universal campaign that would remain relevant even after the tournament had ended
