Peroni and Ferrari will be toasting their victory after being named Brand Partnership of the Year at the 2025 Autosport Awards.
After a record number of entries, it was the activation used to mark the start of a new partnership between Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and the Scuderia, designed to be a ‘Super Bowl-esque’ moment which ran before the start of the 2024 season.
The 60-second ‘heist movie’ starred then-Ferrari driver line-up of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz as well as team principal Fred Vasseur, while Peroni also took the unprecedented step to rebrand 2024 bottles of ‘Tifosi Nastro Azzurro 0.0%’.
After being among the unprecedented number of entries, Peroni’s entry was shortlisted alongside Michelob ULTRA’s ‘Lap of Legends’ AI race alongside Williams Racing, Saudia utilising their partnerships with both Formula E and Newcastle United in their ‘Secret Driver’ marketing and Visa and Cash App’s ‘VCARB wash’ and ‘Chameleon Car’ livery at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
The result of the winning entry saw an audience reach of 2.1 billion and record commercial results for Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, with the cinematic film earning over 20 million views.
President of Motorsport business, James Allen, chaired the judging for the three business categories at the Autosport Awards – with Sam Agini, sports business correspondent at the Financial Times, Kate Beavan, former director of F1 hospitality, Mark Mann-Bryans, Autosport’s F1 business correspondent, Matthew Marsh, motorsport sponsorship and marketing specialist and Gerard Neveu, former CEO of the World Endurance Championship making up the expert panel.
