AFL confirms media pitch
The AFL has confirmed it is looking for a new media agency for the first time since 2006.
Although MediaCom, the AFL's current media agency, is “very much in the mix”, other agencies being considered include Vizeum, PHD, Carat and Starcom, the AFL said.
It is understood the majority of the AFL's media activity (valued at about $8m) is contra-based with the actual media spend thought to be around $1 million.
“We've enjoyed a long-standing nine-year relationship with media, but with the new broadcasting rights coming in 2017, we felt it is good time to explore the media agency market,” a spokesperson tells AdNews.
