MoneyGram's Investment in 'Drive to Survive' Yielded Results?
In the world of Formula One racing, the 2023 season was marked by the presence of a new title sponsor – MoneyGram. The American financial services company joined forces with the Haas F1 Team, becoming the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.
The impact of this title sponsorship was explored in a recent report by Lucy Ingham and Callum Tyndall, which is now available for reading. The report provides insights into the benefits that MoneyGram has reaped from its association with Formula One, with a special focus on the role of the Netflix series, Drive to Survive.
The Drive to Survive documentary offers an inside look at the Formula One racing season, providing a unique perspective that has been credited with significantly increasing Formula 1’s global audience and fan engagement since its launch. This heightened exposure often benefits team sponsors by amplifying their brand visibility to a broader and more engaged audience.
In the case of MoneyGram, the series' focus on the Haas team provided ample opportunities for the brand's logo to be displayed. According to the report, approximately 25% of the instances of MoneyGram's logo were of high prominence in the shots, and every episode had some instances of the logo that were clearly legible. The majority of these appearances occurred in episode four, which focused on Haas's performance in the season.
Moreover, the 2023 series of the Drive to Survive documentary was viewed globally for a total of 90.2 million hours. This widespread viewing likely contributed to a boost in MoneyGram's brand visibility during the F1 season.
While exact metrics, such as sponsor brand recall or consumer sentiment shifts directly attributable to the Drive to Survive, are not publicly available, the series’ role in enhancing F1’s popularity implies a positive sponsorship impact. Furthermore, MoneyGram reported a 55% increase in earned media impressions in 2023 due to its title sponsorship of the F1 team.
