AFL launches finals campaign

Ahead of the AFL Grand Final this month, the league, with Truce Films, has launched its finals campaign featuring a number of footy legends.

The new spot is set in the future and reflects back on the 2023 season, hyping the upcoming finals.

Featuring the likes of Gavin Wanganeen, Joel Selwood and Brendon Goddard, among others, the spot suggests the multiple stories that could transpire over the next month of footy.

Jonathon Bernard, AFL creative and innovation director, said: “As a fan, your senses are in overdrive when in attendance at a Finals match. You want to run through a brick wall, scream for your heroes and throw up your meat pie, all at the same time.

“It’s a rollercoaster of emotion and we aimed to showcase that ride in this year’s campaign,” he continued.

“A campaign supported by A-Grade AFL talent that know a thing or two about the stories that September can bring”.

The campaign is rolling out across TV, OOH, print, radio and digital, as well as social that will integrate fan and player imagery.
