Michael Gierke, Marketing Director at bet-at-home.com: "We are proud to be partners with Hertha BSC with immediate effect. Providing sponsorship in top-class sport has been a central element of our marketing strategy from the very beginning. As the main sponsor of Hertha BSC, we are now strongly represented in the German Bundesliga, one of the best leagues in the world. I regard it as an important step in our efforts to further increase awareness of bet-at-home.com and at the same time to support a traditional club with its further development. We look forward to contesting an exciting and successful season together with Hertha BSC."

For the next three years, bet-at-home.com will be the partner of Hertha BSC, a team based in Germany's capital city. As well as featuring on the jersey, the services will include TV perimeter advertising in the first and second board rows, cam carpets, innovative 3D stand-up displays behind the goal nets and other stadium-related advertising rights. Online and social media campaigns are also part of the service package as well as hospitality rights and exclusive promotional options and events with the team.
