    Marketing based on rallyteams/ rallycars

    We talk about marketing based on rally results from manufacturers as a factor in that they pay for a World Rally team.

    Is this happening in countries around the world?
    If so Please post ads or link to films.

    Any sign that the current manufacturers sell more cars due to their participation in WRC or other championship?

    Do you only mean manufacturer teams and references to World Rally Championship or you mean rallying in general?

    How about the action called PEUGEOT: 210 YEARS OF HISTORY?

    But it's still better than 18 views of this advert...

    I’m sure I can remember seeing a Hyundai banner on the Autosport website, but other than that, I can’t think of anything else at all!!
    You’ve raised a very interesting point.

    Sorry guys but again you take just a tiny part of the whole thing. They don't rally just to make adds about it. It doesn't work like that.

    Marketing is everything containing the brand which gets in your brain. And when I say everything I mean everything. Every single second of the car being visible to public, every talk about it in the pub, every video no matter who created it, every radio broadcast about it, every T-shirt or cap. Every hostess which you remember.

    And what you remember the best works the best. And that is the live experience. Five seconds on stage in Finland works better than a week long of adds in the TV.

    So how many people watch a car for five seconds in Finland that buy one?
    If you’re in a forest watching one, the chances are you know the car you’re watching doesn’t resemble the one you buy, unless you’re Eddie.
    Also, the question remains, how are they getting the exposure these days?
    It must surely be quantifiable, because otherwise, what’s the point?
    Maybe it is social media / YouTube etc that’s become the biggest platform?

    Of course there are mechanism to quantify the effects but you would need to ask someone from a carmaker marketing department and he would not tell you anyway.

    Unfortunately you didn't get the main point which is the brand awareness. It's not that much about a particular model of the car but about a brand as a whole. Simply put in ideal situation the brand reaches a state that the first car brand which comes to your mind whenever you think about cars is the one. And that works. You never buy a thing you never heard about. So the first thing to do is to get into the memory of as many people as possible. People remember much more something what is connected with some excitement or other memorable event. And that is not an advert which just cut your favourite movie or an album on youtube.

    Adverts are boring as fuck, many people outright hate them, mostly skip them, install various ad-blockers etc. But when you go to the stage you go there willingly because you want to see that. Same when you watch a video from the rally. People even buy adverts in such events (yes, the team merchandize is nothing but an advert which people pay for). So the rally itself is an advert but much better working than what people generally consider to be an advert.

    Yes, I am aware of brand awareness etc. Look at Peugeot - a huge slice towards improving their brand identity is now spent sponsoring Djokovic - nothing at all to do with motorsport.
    I guess I am thinking as to what the more specific answer would be in terms of how a manufacturer converts their rallying programme into vehicle sales. Do they use adverts on TV / Indents on websites / Youtube / Social media?
    I do my best to try and turn ads off where possible and I don't read any printed publications any longer, so am I simply out of the marketing firing line or in the wrong territory (UK) to see the ads?
    So yes Mirek, I understand the importance of brand identity and agree that a lot probably skip ads, but that still leaves the question - how are the manufacturers converting the exposure the programmes bring into sales?

    Simple answer - advancement in their technology. Any manu who is into motorsport is willing to spend on tech and engineering.
