As a racing enthusiast, you must have heard about the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team and their recent sponsorship deal with, you guessed it, MoneyGram. This collaboration has sparked considerable excitement in the racing world, and it is easy to understand why! In this blog post, we will delve deeper into what this means for Haas F1 Team as well as the impact it will have on their future.
We’ll start by taking a closer look at who exactly is MoneyGram and why they decided to partner with Haas F1 Team. We’ll also explore how this sponsorship deal affects the team’s finances and resources moving forward. Furthermore, we cannot ignore the visual aspect of this partnership – the livery change that comes along with it. We’ll discuss how this new design reflects both companies’ brand identities while still maintaining an eye-catching appearance on track.
So let’s get started!
Sponsorship of the Haas F1 Team, a dynamic and competitive American Formula One team founded in 2016 by Gene Haas, offers companies and brands numerous opportunities to gain global visibility. Investing in this team will certainly be beneficial for any shrewd brand looking to gain a competitive edge over its competition.
Sponsoring the Haas F1 Team can provide brands with great visibility and exposure, as well as access to high-profile events and races around the world. In addition, it offers the opportunity to reach a large international audience, providing companies with a unique way to connect with potential international customers. Let’s not forget that sponsors have access to exclusive promotional opportunities such as hospitality packages, driver appearances, licensing and more.
To maximise the return on investment from Haas F1 sponsorship, companies must devise strategies that leverage social media platforms to effectively spread their message; employ experiential marketing tactics such as fan engagement activities or meet-and-greets; and forge strategic partnerships with other brands or teams that share similar values or goals. By taking these steps, sponsors can ensure that they get the most out of their Haas F1 sponsorship while increasing global brand awareness.
Partnering with the Haas F1 team offers the unique opportunity to be part of one of the most watched and exciting motor racing series around. With its many advantages, investing in Haas F1 sponsorship can bring great benefits to any brand that wants to expand its brand awareness internationally. Let us take a closer look at some of these advantages.
Sponsoring a team like Haas offers brands the opportunity to gain great exposure, both on and off the track. Access to high-profile events is a benefit associated with investing in Haas F1 sponsorship. Brands are able to gain visibility through participation in races around the world and take part in promotional activities such as fan engagement initiatives that help build relationships between fans and sponsors. By exploiting these opportunities effectively, companies can maximise the return on investment from their presence at Formula 1 races while increasing brand awareness among potential customers.
Working with the team offers companies the opportunity to connect with audiences around the world, thanks to its international presence in several countries in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Sponsors can look to new, perhaps untapped markets before entering into motorsport sponsorship agreements, giving them greater access than ever before when it comes to engaging potential customers around the world.
By using strategic marketing tactics, such as leveraging social media platforms and developing partnerships with other sponsors, companies can maximise the return on investment of this sponsorship.
To maximise return on investment, there are several strategies that brands should consider.
Leveraging social media platforms is an effective way to promote the brand message associated with team sponsorship. Brands can create content such as videos, reels, stories, posts, promotions, images or articles about their partnership with Haas F1 and share them on multiple channels such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. This will help spread awareness of the sponsor’s involvement with the team and generate more interest from potential customers. Additionally, sponsors should consider creating special hashtags related to their partnership so that they can monitor fan engagement levels and measure success over time.
Experiential marketing tactics are also important to engage fans who closely follow Haas F1’s on-track activities. For example, sponsors could offer exclusive experiences such as meet-and-greets with the team’s drivers or team managers during races or send free products to loyal team supporters as part of a loyalty programme. These activities offer brands the opportunity to connect directly with their target audience while generating positive sentiment around their products or services associated with Formula 1 racing in general, something that appeals to motorsport fans around the world.
Brands can benefit from sponsoring Haas F1, and it is crucial to ensure a return on investment. To do this effectively, companies must also consider the potential difficulties associated with investing in Haas F1 sponsorship.
Brands wishing to maximise return on investment from Haas F1 sponsorship should consider leveraging social media and any experiential marketing activities such as exclusive meetings or loyalty programmes. These strategies will help spread awareness of the sponsor’s involvement with the team, stimulate interactions with fans and create a positive atmosphere around their brand associated with Formula 1 racing.
Haas F1 sponsorship can be an effective way to increase brand visibility and potentially achieve high returns, but it must be planned strategically to optimise the investment. It requires careful consideration of strategies and an understanding of the associated critical issues in order to maximise the benefits of such an investment. By considering these factors when making decisions about Haas F1 sponsorship, decision-makers can ensure that their brand receives maximum value from this exciting form of motorsport marketing.

Read MoreIn an era where it is possible to get anywhere with a click, there is a strong temptation to approach teams and properties directly for sponsorship projects.
By doing so, we are convinced that we are shortening the value chain, saving time and money. However, these DYI methods are anything but risk-free and what initially appears to be a competitive advantage soon turns into a problem that is difficult to resolve. That’s why there are agencies. And this is why you should rely on us for your sponsorships.
When first approaching a sponsorship or sports marketing project, it is difficult to know immediately which stakeholders are correct, what the decision flow is, and what the right timelines are for each process. Sports is a very specialized field of action, and fitting effectively into its paths can take a lot of time and therefore money. We, on the other hand, know referents and spheres of action and know who to talk to, when and how. So you are also more effective.
Sports is an immense passion, and for our heart colors we would be willing to do anything. But business is a different business, and it is important to make the best possible strategic decisions based on independent research, statistics and reliable data. A sports marketing and sports sponsorship agency like RTR has an objective, 360-degree picture of the scenario and can tell you what is really best for you: which sport, which athlete, which team. This is because we possess a great deal of data and information on ratings, segmentation and attitudes. Because the numbers don’t lie. Never.
Activations are the real heart of sports sponsorship. Without them, there remains only a blank sticker on a motorcycle, car or uniform and no contact with the public, no emotional connection, no impact on the bottom line. Then how do you do it? It certainly won’t be the teams or the athletes who will help you leverage sponsorship and enjoy the many marketing rights you have paid for. To bring out the best in a sports marketing project you need an agency that knows how to use sponsorship to engage the fanbase on the Web, to reach out to Shopping Centers, to organize hospitality, to develop B2B and B2C opportunities, and to get “your” athletes in front of millions of potential consumers.
Would you ever go to the dealer who sold you the car and ask if the competitor’s car is better? No, of course. So, how do you expect to get firm measurements of the effectiveness of your sponsorship if you do not rely on someone super partes? At RTR, we have always worked with independent third-party agencies that allow us to know the return on any exposure of your brand on TV and in the media. In addition, we believe in calculating ROI as the ultimate measure of your success-so we can tell you for every penny you spend how much you are making.
We have been involved in sports sponsorship and sports marketing for more than 15 years. We are consultants in the sense that our goal is to maximize your investment, but we are also an agency that manages the project from start to finish. We have been doing this since 1995 with passion and professionalism, following three principles that have become cornerstones of our business: independence, verticality and transparency.
I would like to highlight the fact that one of the qualities of RTR is its great ability to approach the sponsorship scenario strategically, together with its passionate attitude, its amazing enthusiasm for solving problems, and its high level of professionalism.

Eurosport is truly delighted with its business relationship with Riccardo Tafà, who has become extremely popular, thanks to his detailed knowledge of the sports marketing sector and his highly diligent attitude to work.
Francois Ribeiro
Commercial Director
Passion and Expertise are the features that I have found in RTR since the very beginning. Serious and reliable professionals but also very helpful, nice and open-mind people, willing to listen and compare different ideas. All the values in which RTR believes make this agency a partner, not just a supplier, a partner with whom we have had the opportunity to achieve significant commercial results in term of success and image.
Luca Pacitto
Head of Communication
We have been working with RTR Sports Marketing for over 10 years. The objectives and the programmes of collaboration continue to be renewed and to grow with mutual satisfaction. I believe RTR is a team of great professionals led by Riccardo Tafà, who I consider a manager of exceptional skills and with a great passion for his work.
Lucio Cecchinello
Team Principal
I have known and worked with Riccardo Tafà since 1995 when we collaborated for the first time on a project for the Williams Formula 1 team. Several clients followed. After leaving Williams to work for Gerhard Berger then owner of the Toro Rosso F1 Team, I turned again to Riccardo to seek his help in finding a tool supplier for the team and Riccardo duly obliged with an introduction to USAG, a partnership with Toro Rosso which endured for five years. I recently started a new role as Group Commercial Director for the renowned Andretti Autosport organisation and I find myself working with Riccardo once again on a number of interesting projects. Why has this relationship with Riccardo endured ? He’s smart, knows the commercial side of sport inside out and back to front and he’s honest and trustworthy. Riccardo Tafà is a “doer” not a “talker”: in over 20 years I have never had a dispute either with him or with a company that he has introduced and each partnership introduced by Riccardo has delivered quantifiable ROI to rights holder and sponsor alike. I can think of no better testimonial of Riccardo’s diligence, knowledge, contact base and hard work than that.
