New UK Nationwide Lottery operator Allwyn, which has been pitching its artistic account since late final 12 months, has determined to separate it between final two contestants Leo Burnett and VCCP. Burnett wins the model facet, VVCP gaming (no matter meaning.)

Allwyn takes over from Camelot in early 2024. The account was previously dealt with by adam&eveDDB. The media account can be being reviewed: incumbent is dentsu’s iProspect.

This all sounds terribly sophisticated: having two bold companies engaged on the identical piece of enterprise is often a recipe for catastrophe. Allwyn, whose bid for the lottery undercut Camelot considerably, has its work reduce out. Different gamers, just like the Individuals’s Postcode Lottery armed with a £66m media finances, and quite a few charity choices, have made the the market far more aggressive.
