TVG

THEY ASKED

First, TVG has a loyal fan base. This endemic audience lives and breathes horse racing and heads to the track religiously. However, they’re not particularly tech savvy. TVG asked for our help encouraging the die-hards to download the TVG app, and bet anytime, anywhere.

Second, TVG wants to attract a relatively untapped newcomer audience. These gamblers are vaguely aware of horse racing, and only engage with friends for big races like the Derby. TVG asked for our help explaining that horse racing isn’t that complicated, and horse races take place year round.

WE ANSWERED

We came up with a few different ad campaigns. Each idea was designed with two different flavors: one to appeal to the die-hards, and the other to appeal to the newbies.

There’s Nothing Like Winning

Die-Hard Audience

If you love winning, then you love winning. And winning doesn’t have to take place at the track. You can place a bet from anywhere.

Newbie Audience

Even if you don’t have a lot of experience betting on horses, we can all relate to how good it feels to win.

It’s Race Day

Newbie Audience

TVG gets more new customers on Derby Day than on any other day of the year. So it’s important to make hay with people who don’t have a lot of experience betting on horses.

Just Another Day At The Races

Diehard Audience

If you can’t get to the track to place your bets, that’s fine. The TVG app allows you to bet anytime, anywhere.

Let’s Talk

If you need some brand work and/or a new website, Gravy Boat Regatta bills on a project basis. If you need ongoing creative services, we can set up a retainer. We often function as the external marketing department for companies that have ongoing advertising and design needs, but don’t want to recruit and staff an internal marketing department.
