We have developed this reputation over decades working at the highest levels in the major global series – Formula One, Formula E, Sportscars, Single Seaters, WRC and historic racing.
Over the years we have worked for and supported the governing bodies, the major series and promoters, advised and run PR for Formula One and Formula E teams. We have devised and activated PR programmes for multiple global sponsors, we have supported multiple motorsport technology suppliers, we have supported and promoted motorsport events and Festivals and we have helped to manage and promote the careers of star race and rally drivers.
This wide-ranging senior experience across the major global motorsport series and all the different stakeholders gives us a holistic perspective and high-level expertise to bring to a client’s specific PR and communications needs. Whether that be a team, an event or rights holder, or a sponsor wishing to activate. The quality of our work has also resulted in Influence being retained by our clients continuously for many years: we advised the Board and Team Principal of a leading Formula One Team and supported strategic communications and special projects for over a decade, and have been activating a leading Formula E partner’s global PR programme for 5 years.
Influence has been a pioneer in both e-mobility communications and electric motorsport PR. We worked with Lord Drayson on the concept of an electric land speed world record attempt to promote his EV business interests. Creating a global platform and huge profile. Influence also worked closely with the EV Cup, the forerunner of Formula E, brokering and providing the Prototype car – a THINK EV. We then went on to support the communications for Drayson Racing becoming the first Formula E Team and from there to support the PR of the inception of the Formula E Series. Since then Influence has become a leading Formula E PR agency supporting several teams and providing PR activation for numerous Formula E global sponsor partners.
Influence’s particular forte is promoting Formula E partners that are involved in e-mobility technology. Here we can combine our skills in motorsport PR with those of our sister agency Influence emobility, the world’s first and leading emobility PR agency. These combined skills enable us to fully activate and tell the e-mobility technology story of our Formula E partners in the most persuasive way. Driving coverage and ROI way beyond the traditional racing media and world.
