CumminsRoss reveals first work for Betfair after winning pitch

CumminsRoss managing director Chris Jeffares said: “We are delighted to be working with Betfair. They have a unique positioning in the market and ambitious plans, a bit like us. It was a fast and fun pitch, and the win is a great way to start 2014. Nothing beats a pitch as an induction, and the new guys in the agency did an awesome job and fully justified the faith we have placed in them.”
AJF Partnership held the account previously, however it is unclear if they participated in the pitch.
Betfair marketing manager Alana Mason said: “We have set up a strong brand proposition and we were intrigued to see how we could take the brand forward and engage with new audiences. The CumminsRoss approach, at both a brand and behavioural-change level, was very powerful. We’re really looking forward to working together.”
Media agency PHD is unaffected by the appointment.
CumminsRoss opened in January 2011 and boasts clients including Jeep, Asahi, Nike, Tennis Australia and Jacob’s Creek. In October, co-founder of Naked Communications in Australia, Adam Ferrier joined the agency, taking on the role of chief strategy officer.
Miranda Ward worked for Mumbrella from 2013 to 2017, eventually becoming deputy editor. Miranda joined Mumbrella in September 2013 from Sky News.

Dirty money. Online gambling advertising is the new tobacco advertising. Don’t know why agencies PR this type of win or work. Just my POV.

I actually like this advertisement, considering how bland most creative work is these days, particularly in the product category.

If I saw anyone WINNING like that I’d slap them. Love the punt. If you don’t mind I’ll just slip my winnings quietly into my pocket and not draw attention to myself, thanks very much.
