Formula E took centre stage on BBC’s reality show giant The Apprentice on Thursday night. But could the championship make the most of the opportunity?
Formula E recently achieved record viewership in the UK, thanks to its appearance on the popular reality show The Apprentice, drawing attention to its green credentials and attracting a new audience. The Apprentice, a major British TV show with a loyal following, provided Formula E with a valuable platform to showcase itself to a larger audience. Despite the show’s focus on entertaining rather than promoting, Formula E had a unique opportunity to make a lasting impression on potential fans. The episode featured contestants designing an identity for a new Formula E team, with Formula E cars and champions making cameo appearances. The teams’ branding efforts reflected Formula E’s environmental values but lacked in execution, highlighting the challenges of translating niche concepts to mainstream audiences. Overall, while Formula E benefited from the exposure, the episode raised questions about effectively connecting with diverse viewer demographics and maximizing promotional opportunities.
