Vodafone's decision to pull out of Formula One may be only a short-lived opportunity for its ad agencies

Vodafone’s decision to pull out of Formula One may be only a short-lived opportunity for its ad agencies

By Staff on March 14, 2013

Vodafone is pulling out of Formula One after sponsoring the McLaren team since 2007 (and before that Ferrari). The company says it wants to spend the money on more ‘local’ promotions and building the brand (which is supposed to be the reason why you sponsor Formula One). There are various estimates of the cost of [...]

 BBH and Audi underline return to form with 'Ugly Duckling' ad for the A5

BBH and Audi underline return to form with ‘Ugly Duckling’ ad for the A5

By Stephen Foster on March 30, 2012

Bartle Bogle Hegarty London’s return to form over the past year or so has been quite remarkable and one of the clients to benefit has been long-standing Audi, of ‘Vorsprung Durch Technic’ fame, latterly with the A6 Avant ad. Before then Audi advertising went through a rather Lewis Hamilton phase, driving erratically and suffering the [...]

McLaren gears up for global ad drive - but no more Button and Hamilton please

McLaren gears up for global ad drive – but no more Button and Hamilton please

By Stephen Foster on November 3, 2011

The UK-based McLaren motor racing empire is looking for an ad agency to handle a global advertising campaign for its new range of high end sports cars according to a report in Campaign. McLaren Automotive, which has so far produced the £170,000 MP4-12C car, is now run directly by company boss Ron Dennis who stepped [...]

Glaxo teams with McLaren in innovation deal - is there no end to the fatal attraction of Formula One?

Glaxo teams with McLaren in innovation deal – is there no end to the fatal attraction of Formula One?

By Stephen Foster on September 16, 2011

Drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline is teaming with Formula One team owner McLaren to tap the vroom vroom boys’ engineering expertise to help its own manufacturing processes and research and development. Sooner or later the association will probably lead to a Lucozade sticker or two on the McLaren racing chassis as well (that’s the one trying to [...]

Did Grey's Irish campaign play key role in persuading £47m Vodafone to dump BBH for WPP?

Did Grey’s Irish campaign play key role in persuading £47m Vodafone to dump BBH for WPP?

By Stephen Foster on June 30, 2011

WPP has had its tanks parked on Bartle Bogle Hegarty’s lawn (the one displaying its £47m Vodafone UK client) since JWT lost the business in 2006 and BBH lost its global brief last year. And in May this year WPP-owned Grey London produced a more than half-decent campaign for Vodafone in Ireland, something Vodafone has [...]

Shouldn't Santander and Engine Group just forget about accident-prone F1 drivers and talk about banking?

Shouldn’t Santander and Engine Group just forget about accident-prone F1 drivers and talk about banking?

By Stephen Foster on June 14, 2011

Clients, marketers, are pretty sensible most of the time but show them a sportsman and their common sense goes through the window as rapidly as Lewis Hamilton drives off the grid (usually into someone else). Santander UK has announced a review of its marketing strategy (according to Marketing) but it still seems want to to [...]

WCRS hangs on to £35m Santander – but can we have something a bit better this time?

By Angie Dean on July 22, 2010

It’s always nice to see an agency holding on to a big account, as WCRS has with Santander after the Spanish banking giant initiated a review, but not if it means yet more gung-ho advertising featuring diminutive racing driver Lewis Hamilton. I suppose this is what integrated marketing means, plugging the firm’s expensive Formula One [...]
