The Commercial Director of Olympiacos BC, Mr. Nikos Lepeniotis stated: “We are very happy to begin this collaboration with Google and YouTube. The Official Olympiacos BC Channel at YouTube will become in the near future, a platform for the promotion of our activities and a channel of communication with millions of our friends all over the world. This collaboration is an innovative and pioneering one for sports marketing in Greece and we hope that we are going to be able and achieve the original goals we have set, on both promotional, participation and communication levels as well as on the commercial level. Each Olympiacos fan and a fan of sports in general, no matter where in the world they are at, are able through various means (even interactive ones) to participate in this new communication platform and be a solid part of the Olympiacos basketball team activities as well as of those of all the associates and members. We want everyone to join our Channel and watch all the videos of the team activities on a daily basis. We wish to thank YouTube for the opportunity they are giving us and their trust in us, in a very difficult moment for Greece and sports and we are certain that the evolvement of this collaboration is going to be magnificent!”
The head of Youtube’s Greek department, Elias Sousis, stated: “It’s a big pleasure to work with the basketball team of Olympiacos, as sports content is a priority for Youtube and for sure, Europe’s champions are the best start. We hope that the fans of Olympiacos and basketball will have the chance to enjoy some impressive moments from the games and behind the scenes like from practices, the locker rooms and the rest of the players’ activities. We are thrilled that a Greek team is added in the partners of Youtube, as long as other organizations like the NBA, Euroleague and many other teams known all over the world.
