Demons extend partnership with Webjet

Online travel agency Webjet has extended its deal as joint major sponsor of Australian Football League (AFL) team Melbourne Demons for the 2013 season.

The Australian rules football club signed the original agreement in April, estimated to be worth in the region of US$1 million annually, in the wake of the Demons’ split from former sponsor EnergyWatch.

The new agreement will see Webjet maintain its presence on the front of Melbourne’s playing jerseys and training apparel, as well having a significant signage presence around the 100,000-seater Melbourne Cricket Ground.
