Infostrada event sponsorship by RTR Sports

Project Info

Client: Infostrada SpA

Task: Ducati Corse In Mall Promotion

Timing: 2001

About Project

Infostrada has been Ducati main sponsor in the Superbike World Championship; in order to further promote this winning partnership, RTR has created a promotional tour to be held in shopping centers around Italy.

Aim of the campaign was:

  • subscriptions of Pronto 1055’s (with CPS- carrier pre-selection-) contracts
  • advertising the brand
  • building on a trust-based relationship with customers

Locations for the campaign, in addition to 3 stages of the SBK World Championship (Monza, Misano and Imola), have benn 17 amongst the biggest Italian shopping centres; the campaign was conducted through a travelling commercial operation that allowed Infostrada to make the best of the communicative and interactive media that shopping centres represent.

All the customers who, after having visited Infostrada’ stand, decided to subscribe to a Pronto 1055’s contract, immediately received Infostrada’s gadgets and had the chance to win further prizes, such as: sun-glasses, helmets, jackets, free passes to the competitions… customers also had the possibility to participate to the final extraction of a Ducati Monster 750 or, in alternative, of the same amount in free calls. Free and available to everybody was the opportunity to have a souvenir photo taken riding the official Ducati’s bike, as used in the competitions.

What’s more, every visitor (even those who decided not to subscribe to a contract) could enjoy a free ride on the ride-simulation video games; wearing Infostrada and Ducati’s colours and experiencing all the excitement and fun of a real race.

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.
