It had been an exciting week for tombola as their new Emmerdale idents launched on Thursday, June 10th. As with the last campaign, tombola featured their players as the main focus of the bumpers to promote the community aspect of tombola.
A small group of players were taken away on a mini tombola holiday for a three day shoot where they did lots of activities including horse riding on a beach, salsa dancing, ten pin bowling, enjoying rides on a Victorian fun fair and much more! The bumpers were shot in a ‘fly on the wall' format and the director captured some fantastic moments and fun times. These will be on air at the start, middle and end of each Emmerdale show on both ITV1, ITV2 and online.
More than £3M in cash prizes are won every week on tombola.co.uk. Dawn Clayton added: “Sponsoring Emmerdale, one of ITV’s leading brands, is a significant opportunity for tombola.co.uk. The show's reach, the affection in which it’s held, and its values of drama, fun and community make it the ideal partner for the tombola brand and it’s wonderful that the players had such a great time on the shoot. Winning the online bingo operator award has topped it all off!”
