Dewalt x McLaren

Driving race-week momentum

The Challenge

With the Silverstone Grand Prix on the horizon, DEWALT wanted to amplify its partnership with McLaren and put the brand in front of one of the most passionate audiences in sport. The campaign needed to capture the intensity of race week while showcasing the DEWALT tools used by the McLaren pit crew and turning McLaren’s huge global fanbase into real engagement with the brand.

The Craft

We built the social strategy to mirror the pace of race week. The campaign centred on a clear audience journey that moved fans from curiosity to interaction, anchored by a competition offering a McLaren fan bundle and supported by a landing page, email campaign and a stream of race-week social content.Using imagery and video from McLaren, we developed a series of creative assets that gave fans an inside look at life around the garage. Behind-the-scenes moments, pit-lane preparation and close-up product features all fed into the same message: Tough Together. Additionally, copy and visuals were carefully tuned to sit naturally alongside both brands’ social feeds, maintaining the tone McLaren fans already knew while spotlighting DEWALT’s role in the partnership.Working closely with DEWALT’s marketing team and their existing agencies, we delivered the overarching strategy and full content plan ahead of race week, ensuring the campaign rolled out smoothly and built anticipation all the way to lights out.

The Result

A coordinated social campaign that amplified the DEWALT x McLaren partnership during race week

High-impact content that showcased DEWALT tools in the McLaren pit environment
