PaddyPower is running “We Hear You”, an advertising campaign focusing on the concerns expressed by football fans. First launched in the UK, the campaign has moved to Italy with a pair of films providing off-beat solutions to corruption and match fixing, designed in response to comments by Facebook fans. “Jesus” (banned by some Italian broadcasters) answers a fan who thinks Italian football is in such a mess that only a miracle can save it. “Billionaire” addresses a fan’s complaint about overpaid footballers.
