As part of the partnership, NordVPN will present the team line-ups on VfB's social media platforms. Furthermore, in line with the focus of the company, which was founded in Vilnius in 2012, other advertising services are also primarily digital - both on social media channels and in the VfB app.
Rouven Kasper, VfB board member for marketing and sales: "NordVPN is a growing, very exciting company from the digital economy. The fact that VfB are now becoming NordVPN's first partner in Germany, after numerous clubs in the UK market, is a strong signal. We look forward to what we hope will be a long and mutually successful relationship."
Fair play on the pitch, fair play online
An additional aim of this partnership is to inform fans about the potential risks of using unsecured networks, and the importance of an encrypted internet connection to ensure their own online safety.
Laura Tyrell-Tyrylyte, head of PR at NordVPN: "Security and privacy cannot be taken for granted on the internet. That is why NordVPN, with its ten years of experience, is committed to fair play on the internet. Our mission is to create a free, secure and private internet. Our new partnership with VfB Stuttgart will help educate people about the importance of cyber security - and drive forward the vision of a free internet."
