9Rooftops Retains Pennsylvania Lottery as Agency of Record Relationship Celebrates 20 Years
9Rooftops, an integrated marketing agency known for breakthrough creative that gets results, announced the continuation of its agency-of-record relationship with the Pennsylvania (PA) Lottery after a competitive review. The two organizations have worked together in various forms for the last two decades. The new contract calls for 9Rooftops to elevate the Pennsylvania Lottery statewide with a focus on creating fully integrated marketing campaigns that highlight the Lottery’s key mission of proceeds going back into the communities to support older Pennsylvanians.
“We’ve been honored and grateful for our role in helping the Pennsylvania Lottery succeed and grow. Each year we strive to be an indispensable partner, continuously and fearlessly fulfilling the Lottery’s objectives. We are proud of the value we’ve delivered through our integrated services, innovative thinking and data-driven research,” Kevin Meany, CEO of 9Rooftops, said.

Some of the highlights of the relationship include:
- Creating and activating the Lottery Love Brand Campaign in 2022 to commemorate the Lottery’s 50th anniversary. The campaign celebrates self-expression and encourages an emotional connection from Pennsylvanians inviting them to “express their love for the lottery”.
- Creating and introducing Gus, the CGI character, which quickly became a beloved brand asset and a prominent feature for Scratch-Off games.
- Developing the Lottery’s social media platforms to extend engagement via Facebook and Instagram.
- Promoting the launch of the PA Lottery Online gaming platform, which helped modernize the Lottery and generate new funds to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
Key goals of upcoming campaigns are to help the Lottery reach the next generation of players and continue to generate funding for programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians across the state.
9Rooftops Senior Vice President and Group Account Director Stephen Smith said: “As a consultant, creator, producer, trailblazer and friend of the Pennsylvania Lottery for over 20 years, we’ve been privileged to grow with our partners through every challenge and celebration along the way. We have a clear, detailed and expert perspective on the current and emerging landscape and are thrilled to continue helping the Pennsylvania Lottery achieve its goals. Moreover, as we have done, we will continue to provide ongoing and detailed insights that help the Pennsylvania Lottery grow in an environment of unprecedented competition.”
