LEONARDO DI CROUCHY-O: PETER CROUCH IS BACK ON-SCREEN FOR PADDY POWER EURO 2020 TV AD
Crouch tells football fans why it’s always a good idea to switch to a better team
Peter Crouch is back staring in the latest Paddy Power TV advert, which sees the former England striker show off his German skills and get called a ‘beanpole’ by an unhappy football fan.
The ad – which kicks off Paddy Power’s EURO 2020 ‘Switch for Better’ campaign – opens with Crouch letting his wife, Abbey Clancy, know that he can’t walk the dog because he’s watching the game.
Every single game in the tournament.
As he’s explaining how good deals only come to those who move about, a group of fans push past the 40-year-old – each wearing a shirt representing one of the many different clubs Crouch played for.

There’s even a reference to upgrading as he walks past Declan’s Bar, which may or may not be linked to the switched national allegiance of a certain West Ham midfielder…
And, to really drive home the messaging around switching teams, he wraps a German fan in an England flag, before uttering “Es kommt nach Hause” – German for “It’s coming home”.

Celebrating with a crowd of England supporters, the final message from the former Liverpool and Tottenham man is that “If the grass looks greener… go and play on it”.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Peter Crouch is always a joy to work with, and we can’t be too surprised that a bicycle-kicking, robot-dancing star is a natural in front of the camera. He might just be a better actor than footballer, you know.
“As Crouchy says in the ad, there’s a lot to be gained from switching for better, and when Declan Rice ends up winning the Euros, it’ll pain me to say he was right.”
Paddy Power is encouraging punters to change bookmaker as part of its ‘Switch for Better’ campaign, where new customers will secure a free £5 Bet Builder for every England group game.

23 Broadway secures $3m seed funding to launch AI-powered user acquisition financing platform
23 Broadway has secured $3 million in Seed funding to accelerate the next phase of its growth and launch a fully integrated AI-powered user acquisition financing platform.
The funding round was co-led by Betty and Will Ventures, with participation from 359 Capital, CEAS Investments, and Dave Bartman.
23 Broadway was integral in catapulting Betty to an 18% market share in Ontario through its world-class performance marketing team and proprietary AI system called Atlas.
Atlas determines the optimal cost of acquiring a customer and their predicted long-term value.
With this new funding, 23 Broadway will add non-dilutive capital to fund user acquisition to run alongside its existing performance marketing and technology capabilities into a single integrated solution.
Jordan Tuch, CEO of 23 Broadway, said: “23 Broadway is reimagining user acquisition financing by not only providing capital but deploying it through proprietary technology and performance marketing expertise. We’ve created a model that empowers businesses to scale faster without needing to build complex technology or marketing infrastructure themselves. The ability to use AI and execute bids based on a customer’s predicted lifetime value means we can deploy capital far more efficiently. That combination of predictive intelligence and funding creates a powerful growth engine for our partners.”
The underlying thesis is that platforms combining in-house technology and performance marketing expertise can offer a truly differentiated and durable user acquisition financing solution.
Growth-stage businesses benefit from access to dedicated capital for customer acquisition without equity dilution, while also being able to implement advanced marketing execution across platforms such as Google Ads and other major advertising ecosystems.
Funding will be allocated to develop Atlas further and enhance 23 Broadway’s predictive modelling capabilities. Another focus will be building new AI-driven models to help gaming companies strengthen retention marketing strategies. A final part will be to onboard additional partners seeking scalable user acquisition financing solutions.
