Betway appoints M&C sports agency for global strategy

British gambling giant Betway, which offers sports betting, online casino, online poker and online bingo, has appointed M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment as its agency partner following a competitive pitch.
Under the partnership, the agency will develop a global campaign for Betway, including advertising, communications, sponsorship activation, content creation, and fan engagement initiatives.
M&C Sport will bring to life the brand’s “Feel the Action” ethos across its portfolio of global sponsorships which includes Arsenal FC, Atlassian Williams F1, Manchester City, the Springboks and global ambassador Thierry Henry, with a focus on driving connections with fans and stakeholders across sport and entertainment.
This collaboration comes as Betway aims to accelerate its efforts to engage audiences in innovative and culturally relevant ways.
The agency has deep experience on the F1 grid with sponsors The Lego Group, Barilla and Heineken, launching new sponsor Allwyn onto the grid with McLaren, and F1, and working directly with Oracle Red Bull Racing.
M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment managing partner Ross Watson said: “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creativity, cultural engagement, and fan-first experiences. We look forward to building work that drives impact – not just impressions – and elevates Betway’s presence across sport and entertainment platforms.”
