LOTTO 6/49 and FCB Launch a Whole New Feeling
FCB Canada launches new “Get That 6/49 Feeling” platform for LOTTO 6/49, the first major brand work since new partnership.
FCB Canada was awarded the OLG LOTTO 6/49 brand business in September 2017 and wasted no time developing a new creative platform to be shared by LOTTO 6/49 brands across almost all of Canada.
The platform invites everyone to “Get that 6/49 feeling”, with a campaign that puts the focus on Canadians from all walks of life experiencing joy in their own unique way. More than winning, the new campaign highlights the joy of playing and all the varied emotions that come with buying a ticket. There’s the anticipation of the draw, the hope a ticket gives you from the moment you slip it in your wallet, the love in sharing your winnings and the fun of playing with friends, co-workers and family.
“The brand has traditionally focussed on the feeling of the winning moment or after the win, but the truth is, playing LOTTO 6/49 delivers emotionally at every stage of the purchase cycle, win or not. We wanted to connect people to the brand at each of these moments,” says Jodie Bates, Director of Integrated Marketing Communications, Ontario Lottery and Gaming.
The campaign launches with a :30-second spot titled “Joy for All”, which pairs joyful moments in the lives of everyday Canadians with the same feelings they’ll find in playing and winning LOTTO 6/49. From weddings and holidays, to life’s big milestones, to game-winning celebrations, the spot shows that every Canadian, no matter who they are, what they believe, or where they’re from, can “Get that 6/49 feeling.”
“There’s something about this brand that connects and equalizes us. In that moment that I’m holding a ticket in my hand, I’m no different than the millions of other people doing the same thing. Regardless of who I am, or where I live, we’re connected by imagining the possibilities ahead. This platform is about expanding the lens through which we experience the brand,” says Nancy Crimi-Lamanna, Chief Creative Officer of FCB Toronto.
The campaign also features a :15-second web version of “Joy for All,” as well as radio, print, and digital banners that are running across markets such as Ontario, Atlantic Canada, Western Canada and British Columbia.
Additional campaign elements will be unveiled throughout the year.
