England TV is an official service offering free to view video content on the Super League, RFL and EnglandRL websites (plus syndicated national media sites) and will provide unrivalled access to the England team during the Rugby League World Cup.
In addition to match highlights, the RFL will shadow the team and capture exclusive behind the scenes footage, training, press conferences, player blogs and news. The footage is filmed in high definition, edited and uploaded to the websites remotely. We estimate that 5 clips per week will be produced across the World Cup period
Gillette, who sponsor the England Rugby League Team utilised this service previously in the Gillette Tri Nations competition held in Australia in 2005 and again in the recent Fusion Test Series held in the UK in 2007. The clips allowed Gillette to raise the profile of their Fusion product and tied in with on-pack promotions.
During the Fusion Test Series our syndicated video content featured as the top 3 downloaded videos on the Sun website.
The Sun have again agreed to carry the content on their website and have recently built a new portal to feature the footage.
Over 500,000 people would be exposed to your brand by the content in association with one of the UK's leading international sports brands in the highest profile Rugby League tournament. A full demographic profile of rugby league supporters is available upon request.
The base coverage of 500,000 visitors is impressive but this excludes the syndication across The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, The Daily Mirror and The Yorkshire Post and will give unrivalled visibility for the fee.
