The Australian Football League has engaged 72andSunny to launch its 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
The agency will develop a new brand campaign promoting the league’s activity in 2025, commencing with the season’s Opening Round. The goal is to invite new audiences, in particular younger and CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) audiences into the game through advertising, social media and media partnerships.
The appointment builds on 72andSunny’s experience in sport. Globally, the agency has worked with brands including adidas, Under Armour, and the NFL. More locally in ANZ, 72andSunny’s recent projects include Google’s partnership with the AFL and AO.
AFL general manager fan, Amanda Romeo, stated, “we 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 storytelling and audience engagement will help our game to grow.”
Ross Berthinussen, president ANZ, 72andSunny, added, “We’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.”
The work is in development now and will launch for the AFL Opening Round, in March 2025.
