Sydney Comes To Life In New 2016 Spring Carnival Campaign

The Australian Turf Club today launches its advertising campaign for the upcoming 2016 Sydney Spring Carnival. Titled ‘Sydney Comes to Life’, the campaign represents the sense of ‘awakening’ that comes with Sydney’s seasonal change from Winter into Spring.

The work of creative agency Pencil & Pixel, the ‘Sydney Comes to Life’ campaign will be seen across TV, print and outdoor exuding the colour, pizzazz and energy that Sydney has in abundance at this time of year.

Intertwining fashion and racing, the creative features famed jockey Hugh Bowman in Magic Bloodstock and Winx Silks in a nod to the calibre of racing talent that will be seen in Sydney this season.

Held across Sydney’s premier racecourses, Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens, the Sydney Spring Carnival comprises of a nine week event series from 10 September to 1 November, culminating with the McGrath Real Estate Agents Melbourne Cup Race Day Meeting, the biggest day on the Sydney racing calendar.

“We are seeing Sydneysiders become more aware and involved with racing during the Spring. This campaign is our opportunity to capitalise on the market noise the racing season brings to Sydney and give Sydneysiders the permission to come to Royal Randwick or Rosehill gardens and really celebrate what Spring Racing is about,” said Partridge.
