“Sport brings people together like nothing else in Australia and are excited to be partnering with such an array of illustrious men’s and women’s teams in 2022 and beyond,” said Trent Chapman, Marketing Director Beam Suntory Australia and New Zealand.
“Being able to engage local team communities and encourage fandom as a grassroots level is something we’re humbled to be able to do. At Jim Beam we have a long history of supporting sport in Australia and we look forward to this new era of partnerships to take us into the future.”

Peter Jackson lining up for Offical Durry Provider to the Port Adelaide Faithful.
It's so patronising.
I feel like the only thing that will be received positively right now is a sacking of the Kenneth.
All jokes aside Jim Beam is a big company and a good one to have on board. Hopefully this is more cash that can be used for regaining control of the club.
Also surely the solution to promo girls if they're worried about sexism is to just add promo guys. Hate it when companies lay a bunch of people off to save money then give some sanctimonious crap as an excuse for it.

When I got to preview the new PAFC logo at the club, I was given the old "Port supporters are more Jim Beam and Peter Jackson than Champagne and Caviar" mantra.
I was like "No s**t hombre", but there's a whole world in between those two things and that's where you're going to get your growth from.

Sponsored by gambling, fast food and now alcohol. Lovely.

The promo girls were probably sacked years ago. Jim Beam approached us and 2 other AFL clubs and 3 NRL clubs and stitched them all up in July. Read the story I linked from Drinks Trade industry at post #18. As if we are going to chase an alcohol company just to appease the fans. Some people are really mind ****ed by this Hinkley stuff. Maybe they need to go a collective mind camp. And the $$$ wont be big. They have minimal branding opportunities.
We'd go for some bottom shelf stuff like Johnnie Walker Red or The Famous Grouse.

Pornhub would be the most wholesome of the bunchGreat news. We've got junk food and alcohol well covered. Now we just need a prominent gambling company, a crypto exchange and PornHub on board

They probably need to drop off a carton at each members house once ken is slapped on the back for 2023.

Hope you don't mind the intrusion guys, I would have thought if Port were going to have an alcohol sponsor Pirate Life would be the obvious choice with the relatively new brewery opened in Port Adelaide as kind of a local link to the area?

What someone should do on game day is swap ken's coke cans with Jim Beam & cola ones but disguise the latter as coke, who knows maybe if stinkley is under the influence of alcohol it might actually be a blessing? 
Mr Experience
wat
Putting promo girls out of a job is progressive now?
