Geelong and North Melbourne are 2 top AFL clubs. Their coaches, who happen to be twins, spearheaded the main media campaign that launched on TV and drove people to Facebook to swear a Blood Oath.The 2 clubs activated Blood Oath at separate games in front of 80,000 people with run-through banners, cheers squads and promotions. Other sponsors including Coke and Ford were also enlisted.The key was to get local clubs involved. A partnership with AFL Victoria reached them online and encouraged them to enlist as many oaths among their players and supporters as possible. Cash prizes were awarded to the clubs with the most oaths.
