Sport can change your life. That’s the message behind rebel’s newest brand campaign, created by The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song. Building on the ‘Sport Is Calling’ brand platform established in 2020, the campaign features the incredible sporting journeys of everyday Australians whose lives have been radically transformed by sport.
A series of films directed by Finch’s Christopher Nelius tells the incredible stories of outback grazier Brendan Cullen and Olympian Sinead Diver.
“Brendan and Sinead’s stories demonstrate rebel’s belief that sport can be the catalyst for incredible change and growth in our lives. Not just physically, but mentally too,” said rebel GM eCommerce & Marketing, Rosemary Martin.
Coinciding with a busy time on the sporting calendar, the integrated campaign inspires Aussies watching on at home to start their own sporting journey.
“Sport really is stranger than fiction. Whether it’s a farmer who dealt with a drought by swimming laps of the dam, or a 47-year-old I.T professional turned national record holder, we’ve loved unearthing the best sports stories Australia has never heard of,” said The Monkeys creative director Adam Slater.
