Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has taken the lead in Ladbroke’s latest brand campaign, starring as the betting brands’ new chief entertainment officer, Mike Iceberg.
The campaign, from Thinkerbell, sees Iceberg inject some excitement into the Ladbrokes office, coining the brand’s new tagline ‘Ladbroke It’.
“Part of our creative challenge was literally this: Use Mark Wahlberg to help us make racing even more exciting. Cue big shiny red Harley Davidson Horse and a dancing ATM…” said Jim Ingram, national chief creative tinker at Thinkerbell.
“Our creative strategy in this was to use Mark as an actor playing an actual role, Mike Iceberg, rather than a celebrity endorsement. Christopher Riggert brought all his crazy and the whole Finch team did a brilliant job bringing Iceberg to life.”
