Very announced as official show sponsor ofThe Traitors Ireland
Catherine O’Toole, Head of Marketing at Very said: “The Traitors is a show that has become a global phenomenon, a cultural moment that sparks conversation, fuels speculation, and keeps audiences guessing, and we can’t wait for it to come to Ireland! Through our sponsorship of The Traitors Ireland, which is set to be a key cultural moment this autumn, we’ll be able to bring our ‘flamazing’ brand world into play and add a splash of flamboyance to the mystery. Viewers will see distinctly Very branded stings across the live shows and on catch-up featuring our much-loved Irish flamingo, Cherry. We’re proud to champion Irish storytelling and production, and this collaboration is a testament to our ongoing commitment to premium partnerships that build meaningful, long-term connections with our customers.”
Alex Culligan, Head of Media Sponsorship, Core Sponsorship, said: “The Traitors Ireland is the most anticipated and exciting TV programme and TV sponsorship to come to the market this decade. It is set to captivate the nation, so we knew it would be the ideal platform for the right brand. Very wants to connect with a highly engaged audience at a key time of year for the brand, so the timing and the opportunity are a perfect match.”
Gavin Deans, Commercial Director, RTÉ said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Very as the sponsor of what promises to be the biggest TV event of the year, The Traitors Ireland. Excitement is building across RTÉ, and it’s vital for us to collaborate with partners who share our passion for championing Irish storytelling and production. Very’s commitment to supporting homegrown content makes them the perfect partner for this landmark series. We’re grateful for their support and look forward to bringing this phenomenal show to audiences across Ireland together.”
The nail-biting psychological reality competition sees a group of strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning up to €50,000. But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It’s up to the others, the Faithfuls, to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim.
Each day, the group embark on Missions as they work together to add more money to the prize pot. For the lucky ones who survive to the end, they have the chance of winning that life-changing cash, but if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll steal all the money.
The Traitors Ireland will air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player later this year.
