Aston Martin has the most valuable sponsorships with Aramco, Cognizant, and Aston Martin, with a combined value of $8.059 trillion.
McLaren has the second most valuable sponsors, with Android, Chrome, and McLaren’s joint value of $1.622 trillion.
The Formula One team with the third most valuable sponsorships is Red Bull, with the teams’ main sponsors collectively valued at $388 billion.
Oppizi has revealed which Formula One teams have the most valuable sponsors in a new study conducted by the offline marketing site.
“The high-value sponsorship deals taken up by these Formula One teams are primarily showcased on the team uniforms, fan merchandise, and the cars themselves. The livery of each car is the main focus of the team’s identity and brand image, so featuring their sponsors proudly contributes to this image. Advertising brands on Formula One cars is an excellent form of marketing for the sponsors, as all Formula One fans will be exposed to this marketing through watching races in person or on television. The marketing of Formula One sponsors extends beyond the season as fans purchase and walk around wearing team hats, shirts, and other memorabilia in their day-to-day life.” - Oppizi spokesperson.
By analyzing each team’s website for a list of primary sponsors, the company value of each sponsor was calculated by market capitalization and collated to give a total figure. Market capitalization (market cap) is essentially the value of all a company’s shares of stock and is often used to measure how much a company is worth.
