Power Plate will be able to use Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hülkenburg, as well as the team’s crew, within its marketing. As part of the change in approach, Power Plate will shift its focus away from endorsements to concentrate on gaining brand recognition. Male-focused marketing will promote its affiliation with the racing team. As part of the deal, Power Plate will launch a co-branded Williams training device.

Nilesh Pandya, Executive Vice-President of Power Plate, explains that “the strategy is to be less about PR and more about experiential activity. People are aware of the brand, but until they try it they are sceptical.”
