Rad Air and David Starr Racing were both thrilled with the results of our creative effort. Our design team created custom graphics to take the customer on a journey from announcing the sponsorship to race completion in about 10 days.
This was a huge promo for Rad Air because they had never done anything like this before. The thumbs up to create a vehicle wrap design and then put it on the track at a NASCAR affiliated event is rare, and Rad Air took advantage of this opportunity with a killer look for the #52 car. But they didn’t want to give it away at once. Race fans and Rad Air followers would need to continue to follow the journey for a payoff.
BOOM. The payoff came on August 1st, with the announcement that not only was Rad Air sponsoring David’s car for the big race, but we also had tickets to give away. We created a landing page that could only be accessed through Facebook, and it contained a form that needed to be filled out to enter the race contest. This was the first time followers got a glimpse of the vehicle wrap in its entirety and there was quite a buzz on Rad Air’s social with the release. The contest ran for 6 days, and during that time, there was heavy promo on Facebook to lead people to the site!
We repurposed the imagery and changed the verbiage in the caption so it could be shared from David’s Facebook page directly, as his team graciously agreed to share some posts in exchange for the sponsorship. We kept costs down by reusing the images we created for Rad Air, but the messaging played to David’s fan base, encouraging them to come down and root him to victory.
The contest winners were announced via Facebook Live on August 8th, and we created a custom invite page to make sure that people were notified when the big announcement was made. We were able to invite followers directly and the live announcement got a tremendous response.
At the end of the week, a custom graphic was posted to thank followers for coming to the race, as well as encouraging them to continue to follow David for the rest of the Xfinity Series Season.
The result of the campaign was very promising. The contest generated 126 entries with just one week of promotions. The reach on social media was amazing. Over 700 viewers watched the Facebook Live broadcast which announced the winner. David Starr’s team got behind the campaign and shared our custom graphics, resulting in an additional 700 likes. Industry publications like Tireball Sports also caught wind of the campaign and ran articles featuring the collaboration between Rad Air and David Starr Racing.
We finished this campaign with a victory lap for sure!
