Revving up Motorola’s Formula 1 story 🏎️

01 — Project details 🚥

Motorola was in F1, but the social story hadn’t caught up to the speed of the sport.

The sponsorship was sleek, but the storytelling? Still stuck in the pit lane. Think hero shots with no heat, and specs that didn’t spark emotion.

The challenge?

  • Turn race-day energy into content that could live at the speed of social

  • Make Moto features part of the F1 lifestyle: fast, stylish, and built for fans

02 — Strategy 🏁 

Create a cross-platform content engine built on three pillars — performance, personality, and presence — that turns F1 moments into iconic Motorola storytelling.

For the Spanish GP, I developed a FOOH concept to bring the thrill of race weekend beyond the track. The goal was to tap into F1’s culture of spectacle and anticipation, using a high-impact visual moment that felt too wild to be real — the kind of thing fans would want to share.

The strategy centered on building pre-race excitement and social buzz by blending Motorola's innovation-led personality with the high-energy emotion of F1. By designing an illusion that looked authentic enough to stop the scroll, the content fueled conversation, curiosity, and race-day hype — all without ever touching the grid.
