The Hero Caribbean
Premier League (CPL) has, today, announced that Republic Bank, the largest bank
and financial service provider in the Caribbean,
will become the Official Bank of the Hero CPL tournament.
As well as using
their sponsorship to activate a number of consumer promotions, Republic Bank
will brand the match winners’ cheque after each game and the pitch report will
be known as the Republic Bank Pitchcheck. This partnership represents
yet another leap forward as the CPL continues to grow and position itself as
the most fun and exciting T20 league in the world.
Jamie Stewart,
Commercial Director, Hero Caribbean Premier
League, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Republic Bank into the CPL
family. There are a number of similarities between both brands; Republic Bank
is the leading homegrown bank in the Caribbean
and the CPL is the premier sporting event in the region. We look forward to a
fruitful relationship working together.”
Michelle
Palmer-Keizer, General Manager, Group Marketing & Communications Dept. of
Republic Bank Trinidad, said: “As a loyal advocate of local and regional
sporting activities, Republic Bank is proud to be the official bank of the 2015
Hero Caribbean Premier League. We are happy to
have the opportunity to extend our regional focus through such a time-honoured
sport and we extend the best of luck to all the teams competing in this
tournament.”
The CPL is now in
its third year and attracts global superstars including Kevin Pietersen,
Jacques Kallis and Shahid Afridi, alongside the Caribbean’s
finest cricketers including the likes of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne
Bravo.
Last year’s
tournament attracted a global audience in excess of 65 million and this year is
set to be even higher as fans across the world continue to be drawn to the high
quality action on the pitch and the unique party atmosphere.
