Shortlist revealed for Mumbrella’s first Sports Marketing Awards
Seven’s legendary sports presenter Bruce McAvaney is up against Fox Sports and TripleM broadcaster Matty Johns, Fox Footy’s Sarah Jones and Nine’s Tim Gilbert for the first Mumbrella Sports Marketing Awards.
Bruce McAvaney faces stiff competition in the Presenter of the Year category
Samsung’s Rethink Role Models campaign, which heroes its partnership with Netball Australia, has been nominated in three categories including Sports Ad Campaign of the Year and Social Idea of the Year.
In the campaign category it is up against BMF’s You’ve Gotta Have a Team for the FFA, The Works’ Support Network work for Optus, AFL’s recent revival of I’d Like to See That, and Dove’s Strength To Care campaign.
