What is sponsorship?
Sponsorship is a partnership between a corporation and a rights-holder or property (e.g., sports event, entertainment event, athlete/celebrity/musician, endorsement, product placement and brand integration, in television or movie, naming rights for buildings, promotion, etc.).
The sponsor provides financial or other support to the rights-holder or property which in return provides access or exposure for the purpose of satisfying the sponsor’s specific objectives such as sales lift, corporate or brand exposure / enhancement, sampling, hospitality.
Sponsorship is maximized when integrated throughout the many different corporate areas including advertising, public relations, sales, promotions, employee relations, human resources, online, legal, business affairs, and event marketing.
