Mission Foods and Western Bulldogs 10 Years Strong today
http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/ne...s-strong-today
Ten years ago today, the Western Bulldogs established a partnership with Mission Foods, which has grown into one of the most significant in the Club’s history.
Since 2009, Mission and the Bulldogs have developed a relationship which goes far beyond a typical sponsorship.
Mission has been a mainstay as the Bulldogs’ major partner for a decade, which culminated in the Club’s drought-breaking premiership in 2016.
“Mission Foods are more than a major partner. They are friends,” said Bulldogs’ President Peter Gordon.
“I was delighted to share moments on the ground after the 2016 Premiership with Juan Gonzalez and to share dinner a few months later with him in his home town of Monterey in Mexico.
“He and his wife Lorena have become welcome faces at our club and our commercial team has enjoyed equally the long-term relationship built with Maria Mitropoulos and the management team at Mission.
“Both organisations have grown and assisted each other’s success over the last decade and we look forward to creating even more memories in the years ahead.”
The Bulldogs and Mission Foods will celebrate their 10-year partnership throughout the 2018 season, with the Round 15 Friday Night blockbuster against Geelong at Etihad Stadium featuring numerous activations in the lead up to, and at the game.
“10 years ago today we announced a ground breaking partnership between Mission Foods and the Western Bulldogs,” said Juan Gonzalez, CEO & President of Mission Foods.
“I am proud to say that 10 years on that partnership has solidified into more than just business – Mission Foods and the Western Bulldogs are family.
“The last decade has been an amazing journey for both businesses and our loyal fan base, culminating with the premiership win in 2016, and with the extension of our partnership we’re certainly excited about what the future holds.”

The media writing folk missed an easy chance to go all out Sgt Peppers with a start like that to the article.
But may there be another few decades.

Re: Mission Foods and Western Bulldogs 10 Years Strong today
I read that they had showings of the grand final win for the entire workforce atone of their factorys in Mexico. During work hours they watched it in shifts.
I'd have given anything to have been there to watch them watching it. There's an episode of Gogglebox I would watch.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

If they were anything like my Polish cousins, they would have been totally confused.
I showed the cousins clips from youtube and the first question they asked was, "Does this game have any rules?" The boys of late primary/early high school age were really taken with the concept of spekkies (speccies? speckies?) though!

Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

Re: Mission Foods and Western Bulldogs 10 Years Strong today
Thanks Mission. What a great sponsor they've been.
Love their corn chips too. Here's to another 10 years plus relationship and a quite a few more premierships.

Premierships washed down with corn chips and (duh, duh, dutta, dutta, dutta, dutta) tequila!

I reckon 10 years is easily our longest sponsorship. With a couple of exceptions probably twice as long as any other major sponsor.

I think 8 years was the previous record. Mission have been terrific sponsors for us.

Really great stuff. Mission have been really good to us.
I think this might have been asked before but does buying Misson products from the supermarket help the club?

As in does a set % of the purchase go directly into our coffers? No, I wouldn't think so.
But the more Mission product purchased, the more they can spend on things like multi-million dollar sponsorships, so indirectly, it does help the club.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Mission Foods and Western Bulldogs 10 Years Strong today
I wonder if Mission checks their sales at supermarkets near the ground? It must be easy to do,

Yep that's the right question. Cheers comrade.
