AxeOne is not: - A sponsorship agency. - A media buying or activation agency. - A volume-execution shop. The firm focuses on long-term positioning over short-term visibility, on strategic decisions over tactical execution, and on confidential mandates over public marketing. ## The four strategic pillars ### Pillar 1 · Motorsport as a growth lever for your strategy Helping organizations enter Formula 1 or endurance racing with a clear vision, strong positioning and a long-term strategy. Use cases include: - A non-motorsport brand entering F1 hospitality and partnership programs for the first time. - An investment platform evaluating the right entry point into motorsport (team partnership, technology supplier, rights holder relationship). - A sovereign or institutional actor designing an international positioning anchored in motorsport. ### Pillar 2 · Strategic partnerships and deal architecture Structuring partnerships that go beyond sponsorship to become true business platforms. This includes: - Partnership structuring and positioning. - Negotiation support and strategic framing. - Activation architecture across markets and audiences. ### Pillar 3 · C-level relationship platforms Designing environments where high-level relationships convert into concrete opportunities. This includes: - Executive-level race weekend platforms. - Private hospitality programs designed for executives, partners and strategic clients. - Client relationship development frameworks. ### Pillar 4 · Talent and endorsement strategy Aligning brands with drivers and emerging talents to create cultural resonance. This includes: - Driver selection and brand alignment. - Ambassador strategy. - Identification of emerging talents (F1 Academy and junior categories). ## Service practices AxeOne organizes its work around five practice areas: 1. Strategic Partnership Architecture · Team and platform selection, partnership structuring, negotiation support. 2. Driver and Talent Strategy · Driver selection and alignment, ambassador strategy, emerging talent identification. 3.

Special Situations · Formula 1, FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), 24 Hours of Le Mans, F1 Academy, white-label advisory for institutions and partners. ## Engagement formats - Sprint (4 to 6 weeks, fixed fee): Diagnostic, recommendation note, one decision formulated with measurement criteria. - Course (3 to 6 months, monthly retainer plus success fee): Dedicated support, weekly review, monthly committee presence, exit on held performance. - Season (12 months, renewable, annual retainer): Dedicated board advisor role, guaranteed availability, one firm, one principal.

The current cycle (2026) is defined by structural shifts: - New entrants: an evolving competitive landscape with Cadillac, Audi and others arriving in F1. - US growth: increased relevance of motorsport in the United States and across global markets. - Tech convergence: convergence with technology, data and sustainability. - Luxury alignment: strong alignment with luxury and premium brands. Three platforms organize the strategic landscape: - Formula 1 · The most global and visible motorsport platform, combining performance, influence and business access. 11 teams, 22 drivers, 24 rounds. - Endurance · A strategic environment driven by manufacturers, innovation and long-term narratives. WEC, 24 Hours of Le Mans. - Emerging platforms · New spaces shaping the future of talent, diversity and brand engagement. F1 Academy, next-generation categories. Knowing how to navigate these platforms is a strategic advantage. ## Founder · Samuel Tamba Samuel Tamba is the founder of AxeOne.
