Sydney Sweeney Releases New Novig Ad Addressing Previous Backlash from Female AthletesPreviousNext

Sydney Sweeney has released a second advertisement for sports prediction platform Novig following criticism of her initial campaign by female athletes who felt it emphasized appearance over athletic skill. In the new ad, Sweeney uses humor while wearing white underwear and footballs to highlight the types of bets available on Novig, including sports and political events. She is also a strategic partner and equity holder in the company. The campaign aims to focus on sports betting while addressing prior backlash.
