Unruly has today announced a new global partnership deal with Formula1.com, the official online presence of the FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™.
The partnership means Unruly is the exclusive supplier of outstream video advertising across the entire Formula1.com website.

The media and entertainment brand has a cumulative audience of 1.76b viewers and receives more than 506m unique viewers, including a UK reach of 27.73m.
Commenting on the partnership, Kenneth Suh, COO Unruly said: “The F1 audience is both enormous and enormously passionate, and that makes it the perfect platform for advertisers to reach a highly engaged audience. We’re thrilled to welcome F1 to Unruly’s family of premium, brand-safe publishers.”
Frank Arthofer, Director of Digital and Licensing at Formula 1 said of the partnership: “Unruly’s polite ad formats and commitment to brand safety make it a natural partner for a premium sports brand like F1. We look at everything through the eyes of our fans, and the F1 audience expects a high-quality experience across our live and TV broadcast channels. It is important to us that the online ad experience matches those standards.”
