Lotto launches new campaign centred around the joy of sharing via VMLY&R Brisbane
Sharing is at the heart of a new campaign for Lotto, via VMLY&R Brisbane. Tagged Lotto, There’s No Nicer Feeling the campaign is set to Julia Stone’s version of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” and tells simple and heartfelt stories of how Lotto winners share their winnings to connect with family and friends.
The campaign launches with a 60 second film, followed by 3 x 45 second spots showcasing stories that illustrate the sentiment that while winning a million dollars is nice, there is no nicer feeling than sharing.
Jo Millington, client service director, VMLY&R Brisbane said the campaign needed to honour Lotto’s 40-year heritage and status as the category’s flagship brand, but also needed to modernise in order to attract new customers.
Says Millington: “Every day we relish working with such an iconic brand but partnering so closely with our client on this significant project has been incredibly rewarding.”
Says Paul Nagy, CCO, VMLY&R: “We knew sharing with family and friends was still the key motivational driver behind playing Lotto, so the platform was developed on the belief that, winning is nice, but there’s no nicer feeling than sharing.
“The campaign is shot mostly in black and white, to create a look that’s as special as the relationships we’re depicting and the wash of colour enhances the feeling.”
Says Dave Liddell, senior marketing manager, Lotto: “It’s a brand truth that winning Lotto takes away some of life’s pressures, so people can connect with the ones they love. This platform brings that to life beautifully.”

This is really beautiful, well done guys. Couldn’t be nicer!
Ah, the caring face of a multinational gambling institution.
How about showing the reality of penniless punters desperate for a payday that never comes.
Tabcorp only operates in Australia … *facepalm*
In a world full of sports betting noise and vulgarity its nice to see someone thinking not shouting. Well done Kolb, I’ve been a fan of your work for some time. I have to wonder if it will drive retail hard enough but let’s hope the POS (or App) reflex the intent.
Good to see some solid work coming out of Brisbane.
What syrupy rubbish! Couldn’t they afford a good colour grade!
you’re a dickbag fuckwit loser jesus loving liar. show yourself.
Well that escalated quickly.
YOU ARSENALLLLLLL
PARKO GET IN YA MAD DOG!!!!!
The gambling category is probably the richest vein for getting interesting and award-winning work produced. This, sadly is not that.
It’s sad you think winning awards is the only thing that matters. Perhaps your clients would prefer effective work, not self-aggrandising rubbish that most agencies produce. Maybe you need to reflect on what’s important.
You’ve clearly never worked on a gambling category brand.
Then DDB NZ is like “Hold my beer”

I do enjoy the comments from anonymous trolls: they’re so brave and just enjoy deeply fulfilling lives. Campaign Brief is just a forum to needlessly shoot down the work of competitor agencies. Clients don’t read this rubbish. Sad really.
