Sport is the connective tissue that binds brands and fans, and 2021’s lineup is looking stronger than ever

Thankfully, Australia’s various sporting codes fought hard to overcome the odds in record time. The NRL proved its nimbleness by becoming the first code to return to stadiums – not just here in Australia, but anywhere in the world. Broadcasting norms were broken in order to make the viewing experiences enjoyable and as normal as possible for the viewers, including new camera angles and augmented crowd effects.
