Results and Effectiveness

The NRL Tipping site has 120,000 members visiting the site each week to get tips for that week's Round. On average we see 3000 people interact and shake the M8-ball each week. The engagement rate is 2.5 times higher than industry standard.

Creative Execution

We saw an opportunity to use this space to give visitors something they would actually want. So we created the Bundy Magic Tipping Ball. Shake the ball, and it gives you fresh predictions on who will win the next round, week after week. Instead of making an ad, we made something useful and entertaining that League fans will want to come back to, week after week - all in a standard ad space.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Rugby League Tipping – a game between friends or workmates who try to predict which teams will win each round of the competition - is immensely popular in Australia. As official sponsors of the National Rugby League, Bundaberg Rum was given a standard banner space on a Rugby League tipping website for an entire season.
