Coral Eurobet Chooses Connextra as
Ad Serving Partner



Coral Eurobet joins a growing list of UK bookmakers on Connextra's LiveAd platform as it commences a three-month pilot of the betting industry's only specialist ad serving system.

Nick Mills, Head of Marketing at Coral Eurobet, says he chose the system because it's the only ad server that enables bookmakers to conduct marketing online in a way that complements proven offline strategies of product and price promotion.

Coral has already completed its first phase of the project, and is running a range of live-price creatives on key partners, including www.thesun.co.uk and www.sportinglife.com. Having gone one better than other Connextra clients - Ladbrokes, Victor Chandler and bet365 - by hooking in a live feed of escalating jackpot prizes, Coral now plans to extend its use of the system to the TradeDoubler network and its CRM email activity.

"It's now much easier to publish event-based creative across our partner base," commented Rosemarie Torres, Coral Eurobet Marketing Executive. "And we can quickly measure the impact of the new system by using it to test alternate communications strategies across key sites. The early results look very promising."

David King Lassman, Connextra MD, added, "We're now at a critical point in the UK, both in terms of driving awareness among advertisers of the benefits of third party ad serving and in terms of becoming the established standard for the betting and gaming industries."
