Smarkets brand SBK has continued its latest advertising push featuring ex-Manchester United defender Gary Pallister.
After the controversial summer advertisement starring Smarkets CEO Jason Trost and featuring Pallister, which didn’t get past the UK clearance body Clearcast, SBK has brought back the ex-Manchester United man for its next marketing push, #GetGaryAJob.
The ad features Pallister attempting to get a job with SBK, while being humorously voted down by a hiring manager, lambasting Pallister for having no social following.
SBK CEO/Founder Jason Trost, who also starred in the summer campaign, said: “Anyone who has seen our recent ad will know we’re not interested in working with ex-footballers, but Gary wouldn’t let it go. I’m willing to give him a chance to prove his worth to us – at the very least I can say I admire his tenacity!”
