William Hill launch inaugural campaign following rebrand of Sportingbet.com.au
Following its launch into the Australian market with the rebrand of Sportingbet.com.au, William Hill has kicked off its inaugural campaign which encourages punters to make a decision and stand tall with William Hill.
Created by Clemenger BBDO Sydney, who won the account in January following a pitch, the ‘It’s Your Call’ campaign celebrates men who commit to a decision.

Paul Nagy, executive creative director at Clemenger BBDO Sydney, said: “Australians love a person who makes a call. It shows strength of character we all admire. William Hill wanted to champion those people who take a stand, and indeed, who know when enough is enough, because lord knows we need more of them! We think that was a great call.”
The campaign is spearheaded by the 60second TV brand spot which is complemented by shorter formats. It is also running across digital, mobile, print, radio, social and direct response.
Warren Hebard, head of brand and acquisition at William Hill, said: “We’re very excited about the work Clemenger has done. We’re confident it captures not only the essence of our brand but launches it off a consumer insight that all Australian’s can relate to, that you respect a person with the confidence to make a call ”
The campaign was shot around Melbourne at locations including Etihad Stadium, Yarra Yarra Golf Course, Caulfield Racetrack, Woodside Park Stud and other sporting venues. It also features Carlton FC, the Brisbane Broncos and a cameo appearance by retired AFL Brownlow Medal winner, Robert DiPierdomenico.

Decent ad for betting, not sure about the William Hill part.

The William Hill brand looks like they should be selling cigarettes not gambling. But on second thoughts maybe this is deliberate!

Why such a heavy focus on Gridiron??
