The retail promotion will allow consumers to purchase any of the four Official Australian Olympic Pins for only $1 when purchasing a copy of New Idea, WHO or that’s life!

Gereurd Roberts, general manager, food, family and home, said: “As part of Seven West Media’s ongoing Olympic support, we are proud to unveil the Official Australian Olympic Pins to all who are looking to support our national team.”

The exclusive promotion will be heavily supported across Pacific’s print, social and digital assets, in addition to a series of 15- and 30-second TV commercials across the Seven Network.

The Swimming and Cycling pins are available this week, with Basketball and Athletics available from Monday 8 August.
