The Super Bowl is over, which means  football season is over. Are you bummed? Heartbroken? Maybe…betrified? 

Hard Rock Bet knows how much fans mourn the end of football season, which is why the brand is turning the week-after woes into a celebration for the next season of sports. Because we may be 200+ days out from the next football season, but there’s basketball, soccer, and more sports to look forward to.

I Bet I Will Survive gives Gloria Gaynor’s heartbreak anthem, I Will Survive, a comedic twist that serves as a rallying cry as football fans transition to the next betting season. In reality, the Hard Rock Bet party is just getting started once you leave your Big Game watch party.

“The end of football season always leaves fans feeling a little heartbroken, so we wanted to flip that emotion on its head and invite everyone to turn the offseason on with a high-energy, feel-good anthem” said Lauren Varnas, VP of Brand Marketing at Hard Rock Digital. “I Bet I Will Survive reminds fans that the fun doesn’t stop when the Super Bowl ends, it just shifts. There’s always another game, another moment, and another reason to keep the party going with Hard Rock Bet.”

“This is the kind of idea that only works if you truly understand fan culture. While everyone else fights to be louder during the game, this waits for the final whistle hangover and turns the end of football into the start of something new to love.” said Peter Hughes, Group Creative Director 72andSunny New York.

The campaign launches immediately post-game, capitalising on the momentum of the most-watched sport event of the year. A 60-second spot and 30-second version will run regionally, with additional media buys on social and digital streaming. And for those who need to listen to it on repeat, it’s releasing on streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Tidal, and Soundcloud.

“I’ve been fortunate to work with this creative team on a few occasions and to have built a shorthand coming into this project which proved very helpful as we worked toward a very tight deadline. With the entire team in lockstep and the track already in place before we stepped into the edit, finding the right tone and energy fell into place with our hero cast perfectly to encapsulate this relatable moment after the high of the Big Game comes to a close.” adds Sophie Solomon, Final Cut editor.
