The Unofficial Official Sound of F1.

Sting, barred from showing its logo in F1 in its first sponsorship year, claimed the roar of the engines as its brand sound.

The Unofficial Official Sound of F1

The challenge

As a new F1 partner, Sting had no logo visibility, broadcast presence or on-track branding.

The idea

The campaign framed the F1 engine's sound as saying the brand's name. DJ Armin van Buuren launched it, and creators across markets retold it locally, so fans began hearing Sting every time a car passed.
