Silverstone, the home of Formula One’s British Grand Prix, has selected customer engagement specialist Thunderhead to deliver fan engagement experiences for the venue.
Thunderhead will use its ONE Engagement Hub to leverage fan journey insight and behaviour to drive conversation-led engagement at Silverstone. The AI-driven platform will underpin the venue’s fan engagement strategy across flagship events, covering VIP experience days and corporate events and hospitality.
Silverstone will use the ONE technology to listen to fans as they interact with experiences, ensuring a better understanding of their behaviour and intent. This insight can then be activated in real time to deliver relevant ‘in-the-moment’ conversations with fans based on their individual interests.
Silverstone’s commercial director Nick Read said: “In today’s digital world fan engagement has never been more important to Silverstone and the motorsport family. With Thunderhead’s ONE we’re able to turn disparate and siloed data into useful real-time insight, using this to enhance the experience for all our fans when they spend time online or participate in one of the world-class events and experiences we provide.

Thunderhead’s ONE technology is a core pillar of our fan engagement strategy, it’s easy to use and fast to deploy which were critical factors in choosing a technology that will help us to meet fan expectations now, and in the future.”
