Ward6, a Sydney communications ad agency, has won the Southern Sun business after a competitive pitch.

The Southern Sun group consists of 19 skin cancer clinics in New South Wales and Queensland, as well as a pathology business.

It was a strategic and creative pitch with a focus on digital. The agency will commence work on the new campaign immediately.

“This is a strong business and it’s an important one for Australia, given our high rates of skin cancer,” said Ward6 CEO Stuart Black. “It was  a dream brief and taps into our expertise in health and wellness.”

The new business win is the agency’s fourth for 2015 and comes at the same time as its 8^th birthday celebrations.
