AMI blows the whistle on referee abuseMango New Zealand, Auckland, Sunday 27 Jun 2010 |
Rugby is undisputed as New Zealand’s favorite sport with around 3,500 games played nationwide on a typical winter Saturday. Unfortunately the ‘whistle blowers’ often get more than their fair share of flack from the sidelines, particularly at junior games when the referees are generally untrained, unprepared volunteers who have picked up the whistle to ensure the game can go ahead.
Mango was enlisted by AMI Insurance, a long term supporter of NZ rugby referee Associations, to get the word out there that it’s not ok for spectators to abuse the ref.
A hard hitting campaign was launched using on field signage with the bold tag line ‘Scream for your team…not at the ref’.
The resulting publicity included prime TV coverage, key daily newspaper stories, specialist sports publications feature stories and radio thus exceeding the clients goals and securing another victory for the Mango team!
