OUTFRONT Leverages Formula E IP for City‑Wide OOH Activation
OUTFRONT Media says it is the Official Out‑of‑Home (OOH) advertising partner of the 2026 ABB FIA Formula E Miami E‑Prix, launching a one‑year agreement that gives the company rights to use Formula E branding in marketing, creative executions and client activations starting with the Miami race. The deal also names OUTFRONT an Associate Partner of Change. Accelerated. Live: Miami, enabling the company to incorporate event intellectual property into commercial work and on‑site promotions during race weekend.
As the exclusive OOH partner, OUTFRONT activates a city‑wide campaign across South Florida, deploying high‑impact digital billboards and transit media in and around Hard Rock Stadium and the Miami International Autodrome. The company positions its inventory as a core media extension of the race weekend, using illuminated roadside displays and transit placements to project the event’s energy beyond the track and into daily urban movement. The rollout emphasizes physical, in‑real‑life (IRL) touchpoints aimed at increasing fan reach at arrival corridors and high‑traffic neighborhoods.
The partnership underlines OUTFRONT’s strategy to tie its OOH inventory and Formula E IP to measurable, immersive brand experiences. OUTFRONT Senior Director of Sports Marketing & Partnerships Chris Mallen calls IRL media a “force multiplier” for fan engagement, framing the collaboration as an evolution in how live sports and IRL media connect brands to audiences. The one‑year term signals a testbed for combining event IP with programmable digital inventory to create integrated sponsorship packages for advertisers.
Outfront's Growing Playbook for Live‑Event Advertising
The Formula E agreement builds on OUTFRONT’s expanding sports and events portfolio announced late last year, which includes partnerships with the Bay Area Host Committee and the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission. The company is positioning itself to offer advertisers high‑impact ties to major cultural and sporting moments—from the Super Bowl and World Cup to global motorsports—by packaging OOH reach with event affiliations and on‑site activations.
Industry partners signal approval: Formula E Partnerships Director Lee Zohlman praises OUTFRONT for amplifying Formula E’s message across Miami, while the company’s press release frames OUTFRONT as a leading U.S. OOH company and a leader in IRL media. The arrangement illustrates how outdoor advertising firms increasingly seek event IP and experiential integrations to drive measurable audience engagement during marquee live events.
