The Australian Football League has engaged 72andSunny to launch the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
72andSunny are tasked with developing a new brand campaign that will inform the league鈥檚 activity in 2025, commencing with the season's Opening Round. Through advertising, social media and media partnerships, the goal is to invite new audiences into the game - in particular younger and CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) audiences.
The appointment builds on 72andSunny鈥檚 experience in sport. Globally, the agency has worked with brands including adidas, Under Armour, and the NFL. More locally in ANZ, 72andSunny鈥檚 recent projects include Google鈥檚 partnership with the AFL and AO.
AFL general manager fan, Amanda Romeo said, 鈥淲e were looking for a creative agency who understands modern culture and how to build enduring platforms that connect with new audiences. 72andSunny stood out, and their ability for story telling and audience engagement will help our game to grow.鈥
Ross Berthinussen, president ANZ, 72andSunny says, 鈥淲e're inspired to collaborate with this ambitious team and by the possibilities we can unlock together. Australian Rules Football is such an iconic part of Australian culture, with such a rich subculture and heritage, helping them drive relevance with Modern Australia more broadly is the kind of challenge we love鈥.
The work is in development now and will launch for the AFL Opening Round, in March 2025.
