The National Football League (NFL) has appointed AI-powered creative agency 2045 to its agency village for Australia and New Zealand, strengthening its local marketing and content capability.

 

The partnership will see 2045’s Headless AI system used to scale content across social, digital, and broadcast. Headless AI combines creative direction with intelligent automation, enabling the NFL to produce culturally responsive, high-quality content at scale.

The first of several television commercials has launched with ESPN, marking some of the first Aussie produced brand work for the NFL.

“We’re excited to welcome 2045 into our agency village,” said General Manager, NFL Australia and New Zealand, Charlotte Offord. “Their approach to creativity and creating brand content gives us a way to tell richer local stories, while maintaining the global quality and consistency of the NFL brand.”

“The NFL is one of the most ambitious brands in the world, and their team in ANZ has a clear vision for how creativity can drive cultural impact,” said Tim Evans, Founder of 2045.

The appointment extends 2045’s growing portfolio of global brands leveraging its HeadlessAI stack, including Bupa, L’Oréal Group, Altos Tequila, and OpenTable.
