At Drive, we recognize the pivotal role that strategic sports sponsorships play in a comprehensive marketing strategy. When executed with precision, authenticity, and a clear plan, sports sponsorships can wield unparalleled influence.
Our team comprises dynamic and seasoned sports marketing professionals dedicated to empowering our clients to achieve exceptional and measurable business outcomes by harnessing the power of motorsport as a global marketing platform.
Since the 1960s, motorsport has stood at the vanguard of sports marketing. Notably, Formula 1 teams transitioned from their national colors to iconic liveries associated with pioneering international brands. Motorsport encompasses various series, including Formula 1, MotoGP, Formula E, the World Endurance Championship (WEC), and the World Rally Championship (WRC), all of which command a global presence, reaching audiences across five continents annually. This global reach is pivotal for multinational corporations seeking to engage diverse audiences. However, some series, like IndyCar, enjoy widespread popularity in a specific region, creating strategic opportunities for brands looking to engage audiences on a regional level.
Moreover, motorsport embodies a spectrum of values, from Formula 1's performance and glamour to Formula E's sustainability and innovation, the passion and team spirit of the World Endurance Championship (WEC), the exhilarating competition of MotoGP, the rugged challenges and excitement of WRC, and the high-intensity racing of IndyCar.
Today, motorsport remains a driving force in sports marketing, offering brands multifaceted sponsorship opportunities.
These range from product endorsements and content creation to digital campaigns, media relations, hospitality, and experiential events. Furthermore, with motorsport's close ties to automotive manufacturers and blue-chip companies, sponsorships present unparalleled opportunities for technology integration and B2B engagements.
At Drive, we specialize in guiding brands, rights holders, and drivers in leveraging the global phenomenon of motorsport to its fullest potential.

Over the years, Edoardo has always approached every Formula 1 sponsorship conversation with professionalism and a sincere willingness to help. I’ve appreciated his openness and collaborative spirit.
Drive Sports Marketing helped us evaluate and activate Formula 1 as a strategic business platform. Their guidance was instrumental in identifying how hospitality could support our business goals, and they made the process seamless from start to finish.
Edoardo and Drive Sports Marketing had the connections to be the first recommendation to our team, they gave me the confidence to navigate an area of entertainment I had no prior experience with.
Drive Sports Marketing brought knowledge to help us choose the right team to partner with, grit to pivot our strategy, wisdom to enrich the GUNDAM partnership in Formula 1 in ways that were high impact for us and low lift for the partners, and professionalism to deliver everything smoothly and as promised with only good surprises. I know who I am calling next time I have an opportunity to work with Formula 1 and motorsports.
