The Sydney Swans are proud to announce that realestate.com.au, Australia’s biggest address in property, has found a new home on the back of the club’s iconic guernsey.
The three-year deal will see realestate.com.au become a Major Partner of the Swans and Sydney’s Official Property Search Partner.
The partnership builds on the successful relationship enjoyed by the Swans and realestate.com.au over the past four seasons. During this time the realestate.com.au brand has taken pride of place on the SCG scoreboard on match days, while the now famous ‘Front Yard Footy Club’ house at the ground has offered a unique match-day hospitality experience for guests.
As part of the agreement realestate.com.au will have access to a suite of digital assets, as well as increased presence at all Sydney Swans home matches, in the form of at-ground branding and a new exclusive realestate.com.au hospitality lounge directly beneath the scoreboard.
Sydney Swans CEO Tom Harley said the club is excited to be strengthening its relationship with one of Australia’s most progressive and successful brands.
“We’ve really enjoyed working with realestate.com.au over the past four seasons and we’re thrilled that they have increased their commitment to our team,” Harley said.
“Both organisations share a passion for creating unique experiences that Australians love – for us it’s on match days at our home at the SCG, while realestate.com.au is focused on helping connect Australians with their own home.
“It’s a significant consideration for our football club to feature a brand on our apparel. We believe realestate.com.au is a wonderful fit and we look forward to working together to continue delivering unique experiences for our 61,912 members and 1.2 million supporters.”
REA Group CEO Owen Wilson said: “With 8.7 million people coming to realestate.com.au each month[1], we are reaching more Australians than ever before, particularly in New South Wales, where audience engagement continues to accelerate.
“After four successful seasons, we’re thrilled to take our partnership to the next level. NSW is an incredibly important market to our business and this major partnership creates enormous potential for us to drive loyalty and engagement with our customers and consumers.
“I know Tom and the Swans team value our partnership and we look forward to deepening our ties.”
The new Sydney Swans guernsey will be available ahead of the start of the 2020 season.
Meanwhile the Sydney Swans would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Citi for being wonderful partners for the past 15 seasons.
“They have done a lot for the club and we wish them all the very best in the future,” Harley said.
