Compass sponsorship activation during racing tour

Project Info

Client: Compass

Task: Compass in tour

Timing: 2009

About Project

Compass, a finance company of the Mediobanca banking group specialising in consumer credit, entrusted RTR with the staging of a travelling promotional tour, which stopped off at 10 of the main shopping centres in Italy for a total of 30 days. The Tour set out to promote and inform consumers about the services, products and advantages offered by Compass.

In order to offer a complete, efficient service, the stand was split into 2 parts: an exposed public area in clear view, where potential users were invited to find out about the world of Compass, and a private area, where visitors interested in taking out a loan or credit card were able to get personalised advice from a Compass representative.

The promotion took advantage of the already-existing partnership with the Italian national football team, a theme that enabled us to break the ice and engage with shopping centre visitors using a fun-filled, informal approach.

A host of surprises was dedicated to all of the stand’s visitors, who won instant promotional gifts. In addition, anyone filling in a simple coupon with their details had the chance to take part in the final draw for fantastic prizes connected with the national football team.

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.
