LONDON – Dennis Publishing has signed a six-figure
partnership deal with Victor Chandler Poker, promoting an online poker
tournament through Maxim and Inside Edge, which will culminate in a
grand final event hosted by Maxim and VC Poker.
The deal for the Maxim King of Poker Tournament in association with VC
Poker was negotiated between Dennis Creative Solutions' Amanda Campbell,
Inside Edge advertising manager Tim Farthing and Simon Prodger, Victor
Chandler marketing manager.
It gives Maxim readers the opportunity to play in weekly online poker
tournaments hosted by VC Poker between January and June. Winners will
get prizes as well as the chance to qualify for the grand final live
event in June.
Maxim and Dennis's gambling magazine Inside Edge will promote the Texas
Holdem tournament in their pages and online, and also produce a
tuition-based "A to Z of Poker" supplement.
Simon Clark, group advertising director at Dennis Publishing, said: "The
King of Poker Tournament is a very exciting concept that has huge
potential for Dennis Publishing and Victor Chandler, as this is such a
unique cross-media deal including Maxim and Inside Edge magazines and
online.
"It is also a fantastic opportunity for Dennis Publishing to offer its
readers and online users the chance to be involved in such a large event
and creates total interaction with those who enter."
