PA Lottery

9Rooftops is continuing its agency-of-record relationship with the Pennsylvania 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 lottery statewide with a focus on creating marketing campaigns that highlight the lottery’s key mission of having its proceeds go back into communities to support older Pennsylvanians. “We believe 9Rooftops is uniquely qualified to help our lottery evolve in a complex marketing environment so that the PA Lottery can continue generating vital funds our seniors rely on each day,” said lottery executive director Drew Svitko.
