Football Australia Equaliser: We need an #Equaliser for Womens Football

Working
Agency
Objective

Football Australia aimed to secure more than $12 million in football commitments in the lead up to the 2022 Federal Election, we needed a creative way to cut through the election noise.

With only 35% of facilities female friendly in Australia, the challenge became our opportunity

Campaign

Primary conceived and implemented the Equaliser campaign to specifically target election commitments which would deliver an equaliser for female footballers via facility upgrades.

65% of Football Australia members said investment in their local community football club would influence who they vote for

8% of Football Australia members felt football currently received its fair share of funding compared to other sports.

The goal of the Equaliser campaign was for all football facilities to be equal, promoting equivalent opportunities of access for both males and females.

Primary delivered government relations, media and creative execution for the three-month project.
