 Barclaycard to give away an Aston Martin as a partner of the new James Bond film, QUANTUM OF SOLACE
Today Barclaycard announces that it is a proud partner of the new James Bond film and is giving its customers the opportunity to win an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The film QUANTUM OF SOLACE, due to be released on 31 October, is the 22nd Bond film and the second starring Daniel Craig as the Secret Agent 007. Dan Mathieson, Head of Sponsorship at Barclaycard said “In becoming the partner of such a major film, we aim to have a positive association with our brand and the opportunity for consumers to look at Barclaycard in a new light. James Bond sums up a lot of what it means to be sophisticated, stylish and cool.” He continues, “We hope that by giving our customers the opportunity of winning prizes, including an Aston Martin, whilst making their usual day to day purchases, we are providing them with a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
