The nearly $6 billion world of motorsports marketing is a challenging, rich and intensely exciting realm to operate in. Some of the largest brands in the world have built their presence from simple grassroots programs to dynamic, multi-series dynasties. From the outside looking in, they make it look easy. But for marketing managers, executives, and those interested in working with motorsports sponsorship programs to market their business it can quickly become overwhelming without the right know-how and support in your corner.

The sponsorship world has gotten more and more scrutinized while competition within sports has never been more fierce. This has created a necessary dynamic for teams, series, and venues to be extremely diligent in spending their time and money.

I have been asking myself this question a lot lately. Our world is increasingly detail-heavy where the smallest things can make the biggest difference. These things are important, and for me personally, mean a lot.

Marketing has expanded in new and exciting ways. Even at the core, marketing has changed. It is not just about selling a product but also providing a compelling experience. When it comes to sports, the marketing strategies are in a constant state of flux - traditional ideas are changing rapidly and new ideas are showing great signs of promise and progress.

Influencer marketing is a category of marketing that focuses on using celebrities or key leaders to drive a brand’s message. It is a tier of social media that utilizes influencers for endorsements and product mentions. Social content creators with niche audiences can add a lot of value to a brand that traditional marketing doesn’t instantly offer.

There is a lot you can do when your brand "owns" an entire weekend in sports. Few other platforms allow you to build out a multi-dimensional and dynamic weekend like motorsports can. Our partners at Pennzoil continue to iterate and expand on their entitlement of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, even during the transition out of a pandemic. The shift in 2021 has focused to virtual engagements, tokens of appreciation, and unique points of view over onsite experiences.
