Australia’s industry superannuation funds are about to initiate another round of television advertising.
Industry Fund Services announced today that the new campaign would begin from this Sunday, and be based on the ‘compare the pair’ model, which was the basis of the funds’ campaign launched ahead of the implementation of choice of superannuation fund.
