New York, NY – Avrett Free Ginsberg (afg&) announced today that it has been named creative agency of record for the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). In support of USEF’s new strategic plan, afg& will develop a new integrated campaign, including video for TV and digital, print work, and social, which will launch in January of 2017. All work will be developed out of afg&’s New York office.
“We’re excited to work with Frank Ginsberg and his award-winning creative team to bring the joy of horse sports to as many people as possible,” said Murray Kessler, USEF President-elect. “The team at afg& showed their passion for our new vision and strategy. That combined with my years of experience working with them while CEO at Lorillard, Inc. gives us confidence that they’re the right partners as we embark on an ambitious marketing and educational campaign in 2017.”
“Coming off the excitement of seeing the equestrian sport brought to life in Rio and the success of the US teams, we’ll work with Murray and the team at USEF to promote all horse sports, foster growth at all levels and unite the equestrian community,” commented Frank Ginsberg, Creative Chairman and CEO of afg&. “Equestrianism has a unique combination of athleticism, grace and power – and we see a terrific opportunity to extend the USEF mission and leverage the unique bond between horse and rider”.
