Resolution wins for the first time at the annual UnLtd Cup in Melbourne

Resolution Digital has taken home the trophy for the first time at the UnLtd Cup soccer tournament in Melbourne. Organised by social impact organisation UnLtd, the annual event brought together over 200 people across the industry in a spirit of friendly competition for a worthy cause.

The agency teams ruled the day with Nunn Media, OMD, Resolution Digital and Carat proceeding to the semi-finals. In an impressive display of skill and teamwork, Resolution Digital clinched the championship title after the final match against Nunn, finishing with a commanding score of 6-2. The Player of the Day titles went to Daniel Rushi from Resolution and Elizabeth Motton from Nine for their great performances throughout the event.

Ellie-Ann McDonald, account director at Resolution Digital Melbourne said:

“This is my third UnLtd cup and it remains one of the highlights of the year (especially since I've managed to play on the winning team for all three). Playing on the Resolution team this year, we were very happy to have taken the winning title away from OMD. It was such a fun day and it's incredible to support such an amazing charity and meet people in the industry. I'm already looking forward to next year!”

The event raised funds for The Mirabel Foundation, an organisation dedicated to breaking the cycle of addiction. Mirabel Foundation assists children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use and are now in the care of extended family (kinship care). Mirabel works at restoring a child’s sense of self-worth, belonging and hope for the future in order for them to reach their full potential as young adults.

Andy Dixon, VP APAC, Amobee and Unruly said:

“We’re so proud to support UnLtd Cup - it was a fantastic day with plenty of passion, laughter and competitiveness! It was a great way to bring the industry together whilst making a big difference for the young people Mirabel Foundation support.”
