As I said in the other thread they mentioned today that Dick Smith got about $50,000 worth of free advertising on the frontpages of the papers today just for having their logo on Benny. If companies work on the mantra that the only bad advertising is no advertising then they should be lining up to get on board. Cousins will be in the news every day. It wouldn't surprise me since we've come out publicly showing interest in Cousins if we have the new sponsor who is okay with all this circus almost ready to be announced. If we did have a new sponsor close to being signed up, it would make sense to make the announcement by Monday in readiness for Cousins first shot in a Richmond polo on Tuesday.

thought exactly the same.  i really don't get it when word came out that some clubs who wanted to draft cousins dropped out because sponsors didn't want any part of it.  having cousins at the club would create so much media attention it's not funny.  his picture would be in the papers and news more often than any other player.  it's great exposure for the sponsors like you said.
Finey on SEN just said there's 4 pages on Cousins in the Herald-Sun tomorrow (Friday).
4 pages of what!?!?!  :help

4 pages of innuendo.  :o

Fair call and I understand what you're saying peggles  

But it's only "great exposure" while it a good story, that is while Benny's a good boy.

But and it is a big but it isn't "great exposure" if he stuffs up and gets kicked out of the game.

I dont think too  many sponsors would too keen on that.

from today's Age...

Those at Richmond in favour of Cousins (Kevin Sheedy included) were given an enormous boost when he was depicted in both of this town's daily newspapers wearing the Tiger jumper, with the Dick Smith sponsor's logo prominent.

This is the kind of exposure that sponsors demand, and if it takes a drug-abusing Brownlow medallist to provide it, well so what? The freebie for the sponsor — a benefit created before Cousins has played a game — would not have been lost on the decision-makers at Punt Road.

That Cousins could create favourable sponsorship outcomes for Richmond is beyond ironic, considering that sponsors of St Kilda, the Lions and Collingwood were said to have misgivings about the dangerous glamour represented by Ben.

From Y&B:

According to Gerard Healy the Tiger's new sponsor will be announced on Monday. There was a hint dropped - that hint was "Bet". So it's either a company associated with betting, or Bet is in the name or both.

Gerald made reference to the fact that "he had his money" on another mob sponsoring the Tigers when a caller inquired about the irony of Cousins playing for a club being sponsored by a pharmacy chain.

Could that be a clue??!!  :lol

I don't think the banks will be sponsoring when they are offloading a heap of staff.

Sounds more like an online betting agency.


lol wayne  ;D

UpTheGuts on BF is claiming he knows the sponsor.

PM him for the answer, or PM me if you want!

Apparently the new sponsor will be announced this week. Hopefully if we're smart it'll be on Monday.

Cousins and a gambling sponsor in the same week. The RFC taking the high moral ground  :lol :rollin.

Marketing wise a Monday announcement has to be the way to go. Monopolise publicity for days on end if they announce on Monday. Cousins on Tuesday and Wednesday media coverage etc etc.
