Century 21 Real Estate has unveiled two new TV spots, which will air throughout the year on network and cable channels as part of the Realogy brand’s 2015 national marketing campaign.

Continuing the brand’s “Smarter. Bolder. Faster.” marketing campaign, the two 30-second spots — “Mom’s Basement” and “The Chase” — feature Century 21 agents going above and beyond to help their clients. (“The Chase” also has a 60-second version.)

The two spots will air during a number of events, including:

Along with the TV buy, Century 21 has also re-upped three of its sports-related sponsorships.

They include a sponsorship of IndyCar Series driver Josef Newgarden, who will race a Century 21-branded car in the Indianapolis 500; U.S. Soccer, including the women’s team, which will compete in the Women’s World Cup this summer; and the U.S. Bobsled & Skeleton team.

Century 21 has made sporting events a centerpiece of its brand marketing efforts, buying Super Bowl ads, sponsoring an IndyCar, and sponsoring the U.S. Bobsled team at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Century 21 competitors Re/Max and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices have yet to announce their 2015 marketing campaigns, and neither has its Realogy cousin, Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
