Foxtel says ‘everyone’s team deserves to be seen’ in latest Fox Footy campaign via TBWA Sydney
Foxtel has taken footy fans behind the scenes of the Fox Footy channel offices to launch the start of their coverage of the upcoming AFL season, continuing the brand position ‘We’re a FoxSporting Nation’ under the new theme ‘Everyone’s team deserves to be seen’ via TBWA Sydney.
The campaign celebrates Fox Footy’s inclusive, unbiased coverage – the fact that they cover every club, big or small every week. While the channel’s coverage is 100% unbiased, there’s no denying every Fox Footy employee still has their favourite team.
The TVC is led by Jonathan Brown, the former Brisbane Lions captain and current Fox Footy expert; along with cameos from the channel’s biggest names, including Paul Roos, Brad Johnson, Eddie McGuire and David King; as well as current AFLW player Brianna Davey and AFL player Jordan Lewis.
Says Rob Farmer, director of brand marketing: content and products: “We wanted to open up the inner workings of Fox Footy, the best in the business when it comes to AFL coverage, and a cornerstone of Foxtel’s unrivalled sport offering. They show every team live every round, no matter how big or small, which caters for every fan’s bias.”
Says Craig Brooks, deputy executive creative director, TBWA Sydney: “One of the rituals of being an everyday footy fan in Australia is a blind loyalty and love towards your team. This is no different for the dedicated team at Fox Footy.”

GOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
How good!
love it – well done
Love the Jordan Lewis spot.
Stop kidding yourself.
This is terrible and you all know it.
Huh?
Feels cheap and trying too hard.
Suffered this on TV, poor.
Why did they choose Eddie Mcguire to front this? Surely they could have found a big enough name from a team that doesn’t actually get covered on free to air anyway.
@ch. Why do you have to be such a Negative Nancy? Also why are you so dumb?
Ripping ad. Great banner.
Solid ad.
This is glorious. Makes me want to kiss Marky Mark on the mouth.
My eyes are wide in trying to understand the stupidity in even trying to stick up for these ads. New all time low. I’m not even sure why this was promoted on campaign brief? If I was the agency and production company I’d have my name nowhere near this publicly. Sure keep the clients happy, it’s what they want but this isn’t stand out work in one single respect and doesn’t have to be. It is what it is but I certainly don’t want to waste my time looking at it.
Well, it’s not this:

But it’s a shiteload better than a lot of other stuff we’ve seen lately.
…too late!
Eat a dick
Who hurt you?
