1. History of Football and Sponsorship
Since the creation of the final football rules in England and its subsequent process of internationalization around the world at the beginning of 20th century, football has become an essential and passion-like element in our society, especially in Europe and South America. The vast majority of cities have its own football team. Big teams such as FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Benfica FC, etc. have millions of fans all over the

    Sports and Entertainment Marketing

    Many advertisers take on the role of sponsoring sporting events or teams to bolster popularity and gain recognition through the team or event. Sport marketing urges memberships, sales, and recognition. These factors represent the biggest benefits for the companies, the athletes, the associations, the leagues, and sport event managers. Well thought out, effective marketing helps to understand the customer and the marketplace. Also, informed marketing decisions help increase status and importance in people's lives, sport is considered a profitable and sustainable marketing source. At large sporting events, sponsors like to take advantage of the large crowd to advertise products (handout products, freebies, contests, etc.) because more people will be able to see it. Therefore this is significant because not only is it a simple way to announce a product but it is also efficient due to the amount of people who would see it at a large event. “Another example of sports marketing through sponsorships, is the renovation of the contract between Adidas and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF). In August of this year the CEO of Adidas Herbert Hainer in companion of the president of the FMF, Justino Compeán announced the renewal of the contract in order to permit Adidas to continue producing and designing the uniform of the Mexican teams until 2018. This is an example of sports marketing because as it was define, sports marketing is a marketing strategy in which companies related to sports products or services promote their trademark through design, production or other resources. In this case Adidas, which is completely related to sports, is the company that is using sports marketing as a strategy, by designing the uniforms of the football team and as a consequence its trademark is being promoted every time there is a game.” (Wikipedia, Sports Marketing)…

    On one hand, the staggering popularity of sport is due, to no small extent, to the enormous amount of attention provided it by the mass media. On the other hand, the media are able to generate enormous sales in both circulation and advertising based upon their extensive treatment of sport.” The amount of advertising in sport has become very extreme. In almost every aspect of a sport you can find some form of advertising or media being exposed.

    Stadium Naming

    Hosting events ranging from professional sports to famous music concerts, stadiums have great potential to become the focal point of a city. In a survey by Performance Research, 61% of the people believed facilities named after corporations add favorably to the community. With effective relationship marketing, companies can utilize stadiums to create a positive brand identity among the surrounding community, a determining factor in the consumer stage of purchase-decisions. However, undertaking stadium sponsorship without considering the needs of clubs or fans would appear to be a "cold-hearted attempt to buy a company's way into…

    Pros And Cons Of Censorship In Public Schools

    A negative impact from sponsorships is that students could get distracted easily by the use of logos, fancy banners, and more being strung around their school. Students should be focusing on their academics and extracurricular activities, not worrying about the certain products they use due to sponsorships. The corporate sponsorships from the schools could influence the students to make appalling choices, if the school sponsors unhealthy foods and drinks. Sometimes, these sponsorships can go too far, making these schools filled with certain products and…

    Athlete Endorsements On The Product They Represent

    I intend to study the positive and negative effects that athlete endorsements have on the product and the brand itself. In being the huge sports fan that I am, I have seen many athlete endorsements become extremely successful. A great example would be David Beckham’s endorsement with Adidas. However, I have also seen some athlete endorsements go terribly wrong, like Terry Keane’s endorsement with 7-Up. These two compelling examples inspire me to learn and understand the effects that star athletes can have on a brand itself and the specific products that they endorse. To learn everything about these effects, I will conduct my research…

    Event Sponsorship as a Value Creating Strategy for Brands

    Abstract Purpose – The present research involves corporations that served as Grand National Sponsors of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and aims to explore whether a strategic approach was employed in the acquisition and management of their Olympic sponsorship. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study analysis was employed, for which data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study sample included seven of the ten Grand National Sponsors that signed agreements with ATHOC, the Organizing Committee of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Data analysis was organized around five themes inspired by the existing literature. Findings – With the exception of two firms, the majority of the Grand National Sponsors reported no clear or measurable objectives and limited consideration to strategic or brand-related initiatives in their decisions to invest in the national Olympic sponsorship program. However, they did report plans to invest resources to leverage their rights, even though in most cases no specific evaluation processes had been designed. Research limitations/implications – Given that the Olympic Games are organized every four years in a new location, the findings of this research may not find direct application to other markets and organizing committees that implement their own sponsorship programs. Nevertheless, this research did show relatively poor recognition of the role of sponsorship in creating value and building the corporate brand. Corporations considering becoming involved in sport sponsorship and also event organizers are encouraged to adopt a more strategic approach in the sponsorship solicitation and management process. Originality/value – Existing literature has discussed…

    Role of Lalit Modi in IPL's Business Model

    IPL has turned out to be a money minting machine for the BCCI. In just three years of its existence, it is now a $4billion industry. The thing that makes the whole scenario interesting is that there has been hardly any investment on the part of BCCI. They just sold an idea, a concept which got widely accepted by the people. Now they stand to gain a large share of profit from the media rights, title sponsor, internet rights, theatre rights and auction money.…

    Advertising is considered a quantitative medium, whereas sponsorship is considered a qualitative medium. It promotes a company in association with the sponsee." It is an appropriate way of ‘increasing broad awareness’, generating ‘consumer preference’ and enhancing brand loyalty. Sponsorship is different from charity; there must be a return on investment because it is a business arrangement, therefore there must be standard procedure for evaluating the suitability of the proposed event to the sponsor and viability of sponsoring the proposed event to the products and image of the company.…
