Most ad campaigns for poker sites are cheesy and focus on the winning rather than the elegance of the game. MansionPoker.net came to LA-based 72andSunny to change all that. The agency created a six spot television campaign illuminating the game’s strategy and James Bond-ish sophistication which feature narration from actor Dougray Scott and appearances by MansionPoker’s pro player Erica Schoenberg. The campaign is tagged “Welcome to the Game” and highlights the wit and competitive nature of the game. Two spots, War and Shambles broke July 2 and four more will follow over the next few months. Recently, poker seems to have gone from Dom Perignon (not Cristal you hipsters) to Budweiser. This campaign aims to change that.
