Intrepid Travel announced as Platinum Partner
Fresh off a record-breaking year, Intrepid is looking ahead to even greater growth in 2025, with plans to expand small group domestic adventures and inspire more Australians to explore their own backyard.
Intrepid’s logo will appear on the back of the BBL jersey and across players training uniform.
Intrepid will also be the Presenting Partner of the Melbourne Stars’ First Nations Round which will take place against the Sydney Sixers on Thursday, January 9th at the MCG.
Melbourne Stars General Manager Blair Crouch thanked Intrepid for their support of the Stars:
“It’s wonderful to have such recognisable Australian brands choosing to work with us during the BBL.
“The competition has become a staple every night in the lounge rooms of millions of Australians and if Sunday night is any indication, we are set for a huge tournament with more than a million people tuning into the Stars match against the Scorchers.
“A huge thanks to Brett, Louise and the team at Intrepid and we’re looking forward to promoting their brand to millions of Australians this summer.”
Brett Mitchell, Intrepid’s ANZ Managing Director said:
“Sport and travel share a unique ability to unite people through unforgettable experiences.
“The BBL reaches millions of viewers worldwide, and as an iconic Melbourne brand, we’re proud to support a fellow homegrown institution and a world-class sport that unites people just as our travel experiences do.”
Mitchell added that this partnership is an exciting step forward for Intrepid as it strengthens its ties with local communities and fosters shared experiences.
“This collaboration highlights two great Melbourne brands coming together to celebrate community, connection, and everything that makes our city shine.”
