Pepperstone and Saatchi & Saatchi NZ rally top tennis stars

AUCKLAND, Today: Tennis pros Daniil Medvedev, Alex de Minaur, and Katie Boulter collaborated with Pepperstone and Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand to continue the popular Don’t Be Fine With It campaign.

Pepperstone’s Global Tennis Ambassador, John McEnroe, shares his 80’s style tips on becoming #1 with the players. “Are they fine with it? Not really – he’s quite shouty, temperamental, and still uses a wooden racket.”

Directed by award-winning comedy director Benji Weinstein and produced by FINCH, the campaign launched during Wimbledon and gained over 2 million views in the first weekend.

Pepperstone’s Global Head of Brand, Jodi Cutler, says, “Working with both Alex and John is always such a pleasure. We’re incredibly passionate about supporting Alex’s rise up the rankings, and now we are also excited to be working with both Katie and Daniil.”

“I can’t believe they got me to do this again.” – John McEnroe

“I can’t believe they got me to do this again,” McEnroe said. “It’s all about participating in a fun Pepperstone campaign with some of the very best players in the world.”

Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand’s joint ECDs Lee Sunter & Jordan Sky added, “Working with Jodi and her team is refreshing. There’s a lot of trust and desire to create work that not only cuts through but entertains, maintaining their challenger brand mindset.

“We love helping to build a brand that’s not only an excellent product but one you like to see popping up in your feed.”

Expect more content to appear on social media globally throughout the year, during other major tournaments.
