MediaWorks and Publicis faced off in the finals, with MediaWorks clinching the victory in the last seconds after an intense match.

Scott Aitchison, Senior Account Director at MediaWorks, said, “The MediaWorks team was stoked to join yet another exciting UnLtd event. It wasn’t just about enjoying a fantastic day out with industry peers, but also about making a meaningful impact by supporting the Graeme Dingle Foundation and the work they do.”
