What Do Ferrari and Tracer Have in Common?

By Jacob Mason, Product Marketing

The Ferrari brand released an article detailing how the company is committed to protecting the authenticity of its products. In fact, the brand even launched an ‘Anti-Counterfeiting Reward Project,’ which encourages their consumers to report fake Ferrari products. With help from this initiative, in 2023 alone, Ferrari reported that it removed over 400,000 counterfeit products from clothing to watches and even a few cars. This approach reflects Ferrari’s dedication to protecting its brand and ensuring its products’ authenticity.

In today’s digital landscape, the rise in popularity of a brand can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it signifies success and consumer trust; on the other, it attracts counterfeiters eager to exploit and profit from the brand’s equity. So what do Ferrari and Tracer have in common? We are both on a mission to fight fakes and counterfeits, driven by our shared appreciation for speed, precision, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 

Ferrari’s ongoing battle against counterfeiters mirrors our mission at Tracer. Ferrari’s efforts to remove and destroy fakes highlight the importance of vigilance and proactive measures in brand protection. The Anti-Counterfeiting Reward Project is a commendable initiative, reflecting Ferrari’s commitment to engaging its community in this fight.

Since we entered the European market a number of years ago, we have had the privilege to help countless businesses better understand the importance of and need to protect their customers and their brand more generally. As a European this brings me great pride.” Alan Spencer, CTO, Tracer.
