NAB Mini Legends Return for The Mini Legends Draft in New Campaign via Clemenger Melbourne

Following the success of the NAB Mini Legends campaign in 2016, NAB and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne have created the next instalment: The NAB Mini Legends Draft.

The campaign is still very much focussed on NAB's commitment to supporting footballers from NAB AFL Auskick to the big time for both the AFL and the AFLW.

Kids who are most like their hero will have the opportunity to star in the new Mini Legends campaign, which will launch through integrated channels in August this year.

Says Andrew Knott, NAB chief marketing officer, said the NAB Mini Legends Draft celebrates Australians' love for footy, and NAB's support of footballers at every stage of their AFL journey.

"We're really excited to see the passion of budding footballers from across the country. The NAB Mini Legends campaign celebrates NAB's support of footy, showcasing kids who aspire to play like their heroes."

Says Rich Williams, creative director Clemenger BBDO: "One of the resounding insights from last year's campaign was how many children - and adults - wished they could become a Mini Legend. This was really the driving force behind the NAB Mini Legends Draft."

Michael Nearhos, NAB's general manager of brand experience, explained that the call out phase of the campaign will roll out nationally through TV, digital, social and print media from Tuesday 27 June.

NAB has partnered with AFL since 2002, and has sponsored Auskick since 2006. Earlier this year, NAB proudly became the naming rights sponsor for the NAB AFL Women's competition.
