NAB looks to the future of football in Australia with ‘Tomorrow’s Game’ via Clemenger Melbourne

NAB and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne have today launched Tomorrow’s Game, an ode to the future of football, in support of NAB’s sponsorship of the game in Australia.

The campaign is based on the insight that Australian football has been through a period of sustained change and growth since NAB began its support 12 years ago, with the campaign posing the question of what’s in store for the sport in the future.

The launch film provides insights from famous Australian football personalities including former Caltex Socceroo, Mark Bresciano, Fox Sports Commentator, Simon Hill, Melbourne Victory striker, Besart Berisha and Westfield Matildas star Steph Catley.

NAB chief marketing officer, Andrew Knott, says the campaign is about building on the growing support for the sport, and aims to encourage fans across the country to continue adding to the

heritage of the great game.

Says Knott: “This sport has such a rich cultural history across the globe and it’s incredible to see support for it growing across the country. Tomorrow’s Game is a true show of support from NAB as we look to help continue growing the game to a point that as Besart Berisha says in the film, gets it to a point where the world wants to play here.”

Says Michael Nearhos, general manager, brand experience, NAB: “Tomorrow’s Game continues to build on NAB’s commitment to Australian sport, and through the campaign we hope to help capture the hopes and dreams of Australian football fans across the country.”

Says Carmela Soares, executive creative director, Clemenger BBDO: “Being Brazilian, I grew up playing and watching football. Since moving to Australia, I’m more engaged than ever with the world-class performance of our teams and players. Partnerships like NAB and FFA are what’s making this happen. Imagining the future of Australian football through this lens is an exciting idea.

In addition to the film, the campaign is supported by social content and digital activity including a landing page whereby Australian football fans can submit their dreams for the sport, with the chance to win a signed Australia jersey.

The campaign will be rolled out nationally through TV, digital and social from 8 April, 2018.
