Fastweb marketing campaign at GP race tour

Project Info

Client: Fastweb

Task: GP Race 4 Fastweb tour

Timing: 2009

About Project

FASTWEB, one of Italy’s major operators in broadband communications, was centrestage for the third year running of the Gp Race 4 Fastweb Tour, a travelling promotional event in 36 shopping centres, with 4 stands running concurrently across Italy, making a total of 108 days altogether. Once again the entire promotional operation was conceived and managed by RTR Sports Marketing.

In all of the arcades of the shopping centres involved, visitors were offered the chance to learn about the many new additions to the range of FASTWEB products which, in addition to its traditional phone, Internet and services, are supplemented by mobile telephony services, offering families a single, complete experience, at home or on the move.

Many surprises were in store for visitors to the stand, including the chance to win several prizes and instant gifts. In addition, those who signed up to a Fastweb service were entered in the draw for a Yamaha XJ6 motorbike handed over to the final winner by Valentino himself on the occasion of the Misano Grand Prix.

Besides Yamaha, underlining FASTWEB’s strong ties with sport, the GP Race 4 FASTWEB Tour saw the participation of another prestigious partner, Acer, which supplied technological equipment for the stands.

The FASTWEB Tour achieved considerable success in terms of visitor numbers and an excellent image dividend, generating each weekend around 200,000 visual contacts and collecting information regarding thousands of potential customers in the target group. RTR, benefiting from extensive experience in promotional events in large-scale retail, has created a winning format which is now in its fourth consecutive year.

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.
