The work speaks for itself

Call it fun or call it fire. Whatever that mix is, tennis ‘Down Under’ creates a feeling not felt anywhere else because Tennis in Australia Hits Different.

Maximising AO attendance and brand health for Tennis Australia

BMF’s challenge was to get Australians to re-engage emotionally with tennis and grow the attendance to one of Australia’s best sporting events, the AO.

  • The common denominator among our target audience segments was their identity as Australians.
  • To align the AO with this cultural identity, we found an overlap in the tension between playfulness and competitiveness.
  • Whether it’s a professional or a local sport event, we’re all in. Australians love to win.

Tennis in Australia Hits Different

We launched a heavy-hitting film which created an animated world of colourful characters, competitive intensity and a distinctly modern Australian brand, made for worldwide audiences.

“The results are outstanding. After two years of solid growth we’ve continued to be impressed by the numbers and momentum we’re seeing.”
