Suzuki Offers Fans the Chance to Make a Pass at Billy

LAVERTON, AUSTRALIA – July 12, 2012: Suzuki Australia has instigated an addictive new reason to visit its popular website.

Fans can trial their rugby league passing skills against Billy Slater, the man considered by many as the best rugby league player in the world.

Slater is the central figure in a new campaign run by Suzuki, called Storm Up A Deal, offering great deals across the award-winning Suzuki range.

“We are very proud of our sponsorship of NRL ladder leaders Melbourne Storm and this is a great way to maximise our exposure by using the best player in the world,” said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers.

Joining Slater in the television commercial are fellow Storm stars Cameron Smith, Matt Duffie and Jason Ryles.

It continues Suzuki’s leverage of its extensive sponsorship portfolio, and follows on the amazing success garnished from its patronage of top rating television show The Block.

“The record ratings for The Block and the extensive product placement for Suzuki resulted in record web traffic and fantastic inquiry levels to our dealer network.

“The end result was great sales figures to finish off the financial year, including a record May number.

“This promotion will help ensure Suzuki maintains its high profile as we get ready to launch revised versions of our award-winning Grand Vitara and SX4 vehicles in the next couple of months,” said Devers.
