Hard Rock Bet is launching its new ‘I Bet I Will Survive’ campaign, a concept set to turn the week-after woes following the end of football season into “a celebration for the next season of sports.”
“Fans may be 200+ days out from the next football season, but there’s basketball, soccer, and more sports to look forward to,” the brand said in its announcement of the campaign, which launched after the final whistle of Super Bowl LX.
The ‘I Bet I Will Survive’ campaign gives Gloria Gaynor’s anthem “I Will Survive” a comedic twist, set to serve as “a rallying cry as football fans transition to the next betting season.” The full spot can be seen here.
The campaign launched immediately post-game, capitalizing on the momentum of the United States’ most-watched sporting event of the year. A 60-second spot and a 30-second version ran regionally, with additional media buys on social and digital streaming.
As part of the campaign, Hard Rock Bet is also releasing the ‘I Bet I Will Survive’ song to streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Tidal, and Soundcloud, shortly after.
“The end of football season always leaves fans feeling a little heartbroken, so we wanted to flip that emotion on its head and invite everyone to turn the offseason on with a high-energy, feel-good anthem,” said Lauren Varnas, VP of Brand Marketing at Hard Rock Digital.
“‘I Bet I Will Survive’ reminds fans that the fun doesn’t stop when the Super Bowl ends — it just shifts. There’s always another game, another moment, and another reason to keep the party going with Hard Rock Bet.”
“This is the kind of idea that only works if you truly understand fan culture. While everyone else fights to be louder during the game, this waits for the final whistle hangover and turns the end of football into the start of something new to love,” added Peter Hughes, Group Creative Director at 72andSunny NY.
