Project Info

Client: Beiersdorf SpA – Brand Nivea For Men

Task: Honda Gresini Racing

Timing: 2000

About Project

Nivea for Men is the cosmetic line specifically studied and developed to suit men and their needs.

Fausto Gresini’s team, the Axo Honda Gresini Team, has won twice the title of world champion in the 125 category and is currently running the world championship in the 250 category with the official Honda bikes, the HRC.

In order to create a partnership between the two companies, RTR has developed an extraordinarily innovative marketing operation: setting of the campaign will be 20 of the major Italian shopping centers and tool of the operation will be an itinerant commercial platform that will put the interactive power of shopping centers to good use.

All customers purchasing a product from the Nivea for Men range will have the chance to take part in the drawing of a Honda scooter and will be able to test their abilities in riding a original Gresini Team’s videogame bike. The chance to ride the bike will be given also to all those customers who accept to answer a questionnaire for commercial research purposes.

Thanks to this simple, but effective system, Nivea for Men achieved numerous goals:

  • involvement and entertainment of customers, the engines of the operation being the curiosity and charm that the racing world arouses
  • knowledge of customer’s needs; thanks to the commercial research, Nivea for Men has been able to draw a precise profile of its targeted customer
  • brand awareness, thanks to the visibility offered by shopping centres • sharp increase in the product sales.

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.
