Foxtel calls on Aussie U.S. sport fans to embrace upcoming U.S. sport season via TBWA Sydney
Foxtel has called on the rising tide of Australian U.S. sport fans to embrace the upcoming American sports season on ESPN in a new campaign via TBWA Sydney.
In 2016-17 Foxtel will lay claim to the ‘Best of the US’ sport live 7 days a week, including coverage of the NBA, NFL, MLB and college sports.
Says Rob Farmer, director of brand marketing: content and products: “U.S. sports are surging in Australia and this campaign is really about celebrating the guts, glitz and glamour of American sports culture.
“We’ve teamed up with our channel partners ESPN to showcase how U.S. sports are being consumed in Australia – live on any device, anywhere.”
The brand TVC reveals how an Aussie fan prioritises his love for NBA while on the job, using Foxtel’s streaming app, Foxtel GO, to mix business with pure U.S. sports pleasure.
Says Gary McCreadie, ECD, TBWA Sydney: “One of the rituals of being a U.S. sport fan in Australia is tuning in for games at odd times of the day. There’s nothing like watching all that hyped up American action when, let’s face it, you probably should be doing something else.”
The campaign is also supported by radio, print, social and digital.

So…. The punchline was he had to close the blinds…
You set up a shipping container being precariously lifted above an office…. And we are waiting for it to come crashing down because he is watching sport…
But then————– nothing.
Bravo. Didn’t see that coming.
Didn’t see the brief. Don’t know the client. But still gonna say it, this could’ve been so much better.
