Says Corey Swaffer, CD, KWP!: “This sponsorship means you will now be able to enjoy an Australian beer at the Australian Open. It seems obvious but it has been a long time since tennis and beer fans have been able to do that.” He added, “These spots shine a light on Coopers’ Australian made and Australian owned credentials in a relevant way that brings these two iconic Australian brands together.”

Says Cam Price, sales and marketing director, Coopers: “We are very excited that one of Australia’s premier sporting events, which has such broad and diverse appeal, will now be sponsored by a beer company that is still Australian owned and family run.”

Says Craig Tiley, Tennis Australia CEO and Australian Open Tournament director: “We’re delighted to welcome Coopers, an iconic and much-loved Australian brand, to the Australian Open family. The Australian Open is not just about world class tennis, it’s a fantastic social event that attracts hundreds of thousands of fans to Melbourne Park each year. It’s a highlight of the summer and Coopers is a great match for the relaxed Aussie atmosphere our fans love.”

The radio campaign is running in conjunction with large format outdoor, which is appearing nationally.
