Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the last F1 race of the year and the climax of Formula 1 racing. It celebrates the pinnacle of motorsport, the best in global music and entertainment and where racers become champions.

I was responsible for developing the creative strategy that formed the foundation of the event identity created by Woodwork. An identity that reflects the Formula 1 season's finale, the world-class experience and the true essence of the Yas Marina circuit in the United Arab Emirates. The meeting place for champions.

The creative ties into the brands future focussed vision of having world class 'cutting edge experiences' present. By blending playful and energising creative across a range of innovative touchpoints embracing the latest technologies.
