WHO CAME UP WITH THE NAME AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Considering they worked behind closed doors, did they also have their eyes and minds closed?
As a massive sports fan I presume I’m key target audience but I’ve got no idea what the service offer is and thought it was a Foxtel product (is it?). A large OOH buy with just the words lots of sport and streaming don’t help.
Just on the ‘Havas Village’, would love to have seen RED and One Green Bean working together. Truly collaborative I’m sure. 😉
Kayo = KO = Knock out. Der!
