Home » Formula 1 breaks new ground with first global marketing campaign

Formula 1 breaks new ground with first global marketing campaign. One of Liberty Media's first actions was to build up a marketing department.

Formula 1 is taking another important step in distancing itself further from the Bernie Ecclestone era by launching a paid-for global marketing campaign for the first time in the history of the sport. British business magnate and the former chief executive of the Formula One Group, Bernie Ecclestone, famously relied on race promoters, teams, sponsors and media in order to publicise the sport rather than the rights holders themselves investing money in marketing.

A minute-long film ‘Engineered Insanity’, initially rolled out over social media channels from Friday, focuses on the visceral appeal of the sport as experienced by ‘superfans’ inside a wind tunnel. Ellie Norman, Formula One’s recently appointed head of marketing, told Reuters at Formula One’s gleaming new central London headquarters that teams were supportive of the initiative: “There is definitely a sense of appreciation that for the first time Formula One is promoting the sport and the series itself.” – she explained, as reported by Reuters – “The teams work incredibly hard from their team and driver perspective but there has not been something from Formula One that promotes the series.

A multi-platform campaign will accompany next week’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne before spreading around the world. The Virgin Media advertising and sponsorship boss added that the aim was to develop the campaign through the 21-race season, making it more real-time and reactive: “One example would be that in-between every race there is a new edit, a 30 second piece of film that is created that starts to take the key moments from the race before and plays that back almost as a snapshot. It is literally to keep people engaged with Formula One. – she said.

Before the American mass media company Liberty Media took over back in January last year and moved Bernie Ecclestone aside, Formula 1 made headlines almost as much through regular storms and controversies as track action. Liberty Media have been less newsworthy and more discreet, one of their first actions being to build up a marketing department. Last year they ditched the old F1 logo for a more digitally-friendly version.

Formula One is planning fan festivals in four cities – Shanghai, Marseille, Berlin and Miami in the week of those countries’ races to build awareness. Unlike last year’s pre-British Grand Prix London Live event, when cars performed burnouts on the streets of London, there will be no attempt to get all ten teams and drivers to participate: “We have had really positive pickup from a number of teams that want to come and either do static cars, bring team members down, live demo runs. That depends on logistics, availability. I am really positive with how the teams are…working closely with us. I think they also understand with the growth of all their social channels and engagement from fans, that actually if we all work together in some of these elements it’s good for the sport everywhere.” – Ellie Norman concluded.
