Marketing News: Renault have been hit by the news that title sponsor ING will end its contract

Renault have been hit by the news that title sponsor ING will end its contract with the Formula 1 team immediately. The Dutch-based financial group planned to pull out at the end of the season but will now leave four races early. The move follows the race-fixing scandal that resulted in a suspended ban for the former world champions. Renault had already lost the backing of Spanish insurance firm Mutua Madrilena, which asked for its name to be removed from Renault's cars earlier in the day. ING was the largest sponsor on Renault's books, providing more than half their total sponsorship revenues according to some estimates.

Summertime is filled with opportunities for brands to show they care, whether by helping consumers find a place to change at the beach or by giving them a little cooling refreshment during a heat wave. Targeting the latter option is Soak Media, a UK firm that gives out free bottled water to London commuters courtesy of on-bottle advertising. Focusing only on the months of July and August, Soak sells advertising space on 330 ml. plastic bottles filled with Buxton water and then hands them out for free to overheated London commuters, who would normally pay £1 or more for such refreshment. Soak's own staff hands out the bottles from an ice-filled cart, after which time it estimates the bottles spend about 50 minutes in the average consumer's hands. The company also does specials including leaflet tip-ons, specially shaped bottles
