    The global broadcast promotion of Torino 2006 was the strongest in Olympic Winter Games history. As more Olympic broadcasters made greater use of satellite and digital platforms to provide viewers with increased access to the Games, broadcast coverage of Torino 2006 Games reached a worldwide total of more than 16,300 hours, the equivalent of 679 days of around-the-clock coverage (Olympic, 2013). For the first time, fans in certain markets were able to access live actions and highlights streamed to their mobile phones, live video streams via the internet, and TV coverage in High Definition. It was an incredible 57% increase over the previous record of 10,416 hours of coverage established for Salt Lake 2002 (Olympic, 2013). Clearly, promotions worked very well. The 2006 Winter Games generated approximately $833 million in rights fees revenue (Torsen, n.d.). Another area that worked well for the 2006 Winter Games was the implementation of an anti-ambush campaign to protect the Olympic brand and partners’ rights. Ambush marketing is a marketing technique in which advertisers work to connect their product with a particular event in the minds of potential customers, without having to pay sponsorship expenses for the event (Business Dictionary, n.d.). Through intense advertising in key markets areas with a history of ambush activities, the IOC “communicated the identities, roles and contributions of Olympic sponsors, defined ambush marketing and the damage it can cause to the Olympic Movement and presented ideas on how stakeholders can combat ambush marketing” (Olympic, 2013). As a result of this campaign, more interest for brand protection grew among the NOC communities and global consumer awareness of the Olympic Games increased from 87% in 2004 to 94% (Olympic,…

    Establishing the brand and image of an athlete is key in the business aspect of sports. Talent and winning are necessary in building a player’s image. In addition, the player’s personality and character are huge components. Businessmen, as well as the player himself/herself, seek to exploit the image as a marketing tool for whatever they wish to promote. Through sponsorships, endorsements and merchandising deals, both parties can reap enormous amounts of money. Endorsements can also increase the desirability of a player’s image,…

    Ambush Marketing Essay 3

    AMBUSH MARKETING The year 2006 has been a year full of major international sporting events where the complex issue under analysis has risen, to local concern, mainly before, during and after the FIFA World Cup which took place in Germany. Ambush marketing, also called parasite marketing, is a practice common to major cultural or sporting events where an advertiser which is not an official sponsor of the event intends to associate itself to the event without paying the organizer for the right to do so. However, sports particularly provide companies with a greater opportunity to advertise their marks, goods and services to a wide and sometimes worldwide audience and, at the same time allows interested parties to be associated with a major event. We shall only refer to sporting events for our purpose. There are two types of ambush. The first is the so called ambush marketing by association, and happens when a non-sponsor gives out the impression of being an official one, whereas the second form, ambush marketing by intrusion is when the non sponsor intends to be associated with the event by means of its media and/or spectator exposure. An example of the first type of ambush marketing is when the non sponsor uses the official event’s logos, symbols or mascots. An example –among many- of ambush marketing by intrusion is when the non sponsor places banners or advertisements close to the event’s venues. Benefits of sponsoring Who benefits with sponsoring? Both, organizers and sponsors do. On the first hand, the organizers need sponsoring. In terms of sportive activities, sponsoring has become an essential part of the development of today’s sports and is one of the most fruitful means of revenue. Without the presence of sponsors, organizers of the major events such as the FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games would not be able to obtain the sources of income to get the events going. On the other hand, sponsoring derives in many benefits for…

    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)…

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.
