The opportunity · (01)

Not impressions or viewership.Sales opportunities.

This programme was designed for B2B. It's built on Teylu's experience running ABM marketing via real-world experiences to bring dryer topics to life. We've done this with music, sport and the arts over the years. With the growing popularity of endurance racing on free-to-watch digital channels, this format provides amazing content paired with world-class sales environments. In essence, it brings together two things that rarely coexist: content people genuinely want to watch, and a highly successful B2B marketing strategy that knows how to turn attention into pipeline via engaging sales environments.

The platform: Sam Shrimpton (2025 Ginetta GT Academy Rookie Class Champion, raced on the British GT support package) and founder of Teylu agency. Sam won a global talent shootout to be on the grid, and is racing GT4 in 2027, with a confirmed pairing option alongside Colin Turkington, four-time British Touring Car Champion. Together, they provide access to a unique story, a high-PR-value partnership, and the most affordable yet premium sports environments that attract B2B high-net-worth individuals. The championship choices we can offer flex to your objectives: British GT for the UK market, European GT4 for EMEA, or the Masters GT Revival for global high-net-worth deal-making circuit-side.

Around the racing, Teylu (Sam's Agency) runs the full B2B engine: ABM, content, sales environments, attribution. Partners in 2025 saw 8:1 to 12:1 ROI returns, tracked and reported from our previous programme. This is a truly unique offering where a proven B2B marketing agency has full control of the racing environment to provide tailored content and experiences to your brand and vendor partners.

Built for how B2B buys now
AI and digital ads have made top-of-funnel cheap and trust rare in B2B. Real stories and in-person environments are what still convert - this programme delivers both. Endurance racing was the vehicle for truly engaging content and a comparatively affordable hook to get prospects over the line.

Why this fits B2B tech · (02)

Built around your objectives. Not our assets.

01 Pipeline where you need it

UK, EMEA or both. Your sponsorship team is global - so is this programme. ABM and lead generation wrapped around race weekends in the markets you choose, feeding named accounts into your CRM.

UK and EMEA reach map with hub cities marked
02 Deal-making environments

Paddock hospitality engineered as sales experiences for VARs, ISVs and enterprise accounts - structured weekends where your sales team leaves with meetings held, not just hands shaken. Delivered by our agency events team. We've created weekend experiences that outperform trade shows because they offer education, bonding, and trackside activities - plus they demand less of the customer.

Trackside hospitality dining
03 Stories for dry topics

Distribution, cloud, and infrastructure are hard to get people to watch. A normal person racing to Le Mans - documented to TV quality - gives you content audiences will choose, shaped to your customers with your own team and partners circuit side. Think the most engaging partner testimonial you ever filmed trackside or in a race car during a hot lap, used in your top of funnel this is what delivers market leading form fill rates.

Hot laps passenger experience
04 Share the cost. Multiply the return.

Vendor and partner co-funding: each race weekend or content cycle can focus on a different vendor, vertical or channel partner, so the programme funds itself across your network rather than sitting in one budget line. One asset, many buying committees, a reason for each to say yes to a meeting.

The story · (04)
Sam Shrimpton · 2025 Rookie Champion

A relatable story for B2B - becoming a racer after you've established your career.

This isn't a racing driver's story (we've all heard those before, and frankly, they follow a predictable format). That's exactly why this content vehicle works and engages audiences broader than motorsport and standard B2B groups. Sam Shrimpton had never raced anything when he beat 37 international drivers in a talent shootout after becoming a successful marketer and agency owner. He then won his championship in year one. Millions of people have wondered "could I?" — Sam is living the answer, and audiences invest in what happens next.

Sam just happens to run a highly successful marketing agency for B2B brands and to be media-trained as a journalist. Put all that together, and we're able to offer a truly unique partnership that provides content that engages your customers at a personal level and, on a business level. Sam knows how to talk to business owners on screen; he knows how to engage B2B audiences, and he is someone that senior decision makers in B2B businesses can relate to. He is living out the dream many across the tech space desire - to go racing.

This is the organic pull from our docuseries. Via Instagram, Google channels and LinkedIn. Around it, Teylu's ABM engine builds the audience you actually need - your named accounts, your vendors, your markets - so reach is engineered, not hoped for.

Our content isn't just watched - it's plumbed into funnels. For clients, our historic average from this approach converts sales-ready leads at 62% lower cost than they were paying before, with no drop in lead quality.

Over the past 2-years 80% of our campaigns around the Shrimpton Racing brand have been targeting software, tech and manufacturing B2B audiences. We have extensive targeting data and viewership with key demographics across these sectors.

We know how to turn this content engine into lead data and tie it into vendors and brands. Furthermore, we host honest, real and engaging sales events for our partners at circuits to deliver the best event-to-sale performance for you.
Why this combination matters Content people choose to watch, in front of an audience that skews senior and affluent — then targeted distribution through ABM to put it in front of the exact accounts you want. The story earns attention. The data proves it. The engine aims it.
