Riccardo Tafà

Riccardo nasceu em Giulianova, licenciou-se em Direito na Universidade de Bolonha e decidiu fazer outra coisa. Depois de uma passagem pelo ISFORP (instituto de formação em relações públicas) em Milão, mudou-se para Inglaterra. Começou a sua carreira em Londres na área das relações públicas, primeiro na MSP Communication e depois na Counsel Limited. Depois, seguindo a sua paixão doentia pelo desporto, mudou-se para a SDC de Jean Paul Libert e começou a trabalhar em veículos de duas e quatro rodas, isto em 1991/1992. Seguiu-se uma breve mudança para o Mónaco, onde trabalhou com o proprietário da Pro COM, uma agência de marketing desportivo fundada por Nelson Piquet. Regressou a Itália e começou a trabalhar na primeira pessoa como RTR, primeiro uma empresa de consultoria e depois uma empresa de marketing desportivo. 
Em 2001, a RTR ganhou o prémio ESCA para o melhor projeto de marketing desportivo em Itália no ano 2000. Entre outras coisas, a RTR obteve a pontuação mais elevada entre todas as categorias e representou a Itália no concurso europeu da ESCA. A partir desse momento, o RTR deixou de participar noutros prémios nacionais ou internacionais. Ao longo dos anos, tem alguma satisfação e engole muitos sapos. Mas continua aqui, a escrever de forma desencantada e simples, com o objetivo de dar conselhos práticos (não solicitados) e motivos de reflexão.

Por que escolher a RTR Sports Marketing

Em uma era em que é possível chegar a qualquer lugar com um clique, há uma forte tentação de abordar equipes e propriedades diretamente para projetos de patrocínio.

Ao fazer isso, estamos convencidos de que estamos encurtando a cadeia de valor, economizando tempo e dinheiro. No entanto, esses métodos DYI são tudo menos isentos de riscos e o que inicialmente parece ser uma vantagem competitiva logo se transforma em um problema difícil de resolver. É por isso que existem agências. E é por isso que você deve contar conosco para seus patrocínios.

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.
