WWE and Bleacher Report Announce Global Content Partnership
WWE and Bleacher Report have announced a multi-year global content partnership, granting B/R global highlight rights to WWE programming including Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and Premium Live Events like WrestleMania. The content will be distributed across Bleacher Report, House of Highlights, B/R Wrestling, and their social and digital platforms. B/R will also have ringside presence at select WWE events to produce original and behind-the-scenes content. The deal raises questions about AEW, as B/R is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, which also airs AEW Dynamite and Collision on TBS and TNT. WBD emphasized the deal doesn't displace AEW's existing agreement, though AEW currently lacks a comparable highlights deal. WWE's strategy includes expanding digital reach, following the move of WWE Main Event from YouTube to Rumble.
Prostate Cancer UK launches football-themed fundraising film
Prostate Cancer UK’s fundraising challenge Prostate Utd has released a 30-second film titled 'This Club Matters More' that uses football rivalry banter to urge collective action against prostate cancer. The spot highlights that a man in the UK dies from prostate cancer every 45 minutes and encourages sign-ups for an October challenge where participants walk, run or cycle daily. The campaign aims for 7,861 sign-ups, builds on £1m raised since Prostate Utd began in 2018, and is the first step in a new three-year strategy to make the challenge a football-native fundraising brand. The creative was produced by agency ELVIS (recently acquired by Wonderhood Studios from Next 15) with production by Armoury Films and post by Creative Outpost.
