S1 E13: Maddi Scordia - The Changing Nature of Motorsport Sponsorship
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Motorsport sponsorship used to be solely about exposure and brand awareness – put a sticker on a race car, spectators will notice and recognise the brand. These days though, sponsorship is about so much more than that – it involves elements such as staff and customer incentives, business-to-business networking opportunities and various other benefits.
On this episode, we look at the changing nature of motorsport sponsorship – why companies continue to invest and how they justify the expenditure.
Our guest is Maddi Scordia-Smith, who has a wealth of experience in the digital marketing arena, inside and outside the motor-racing industry.
