Open Access Graduate Research Paper

Abstract

Sponsorship of sports, arts and cultural events has increased dramatically over the past decade. Considering that corporate sponsorship is a mainstream marketing communication tool, it has been increasingly important to gauge the relative effectiveness of sponsorship in a marketing context. A better understanding of sponsorship is essential to property owners and potential sponsors. Studies conducted on sponsorship were grouped, examined and synthesized using the following underlying elements: objectives of sponsorship, theoretical frameworks of how sponsorship works, evaluation of sponsorship effectiveness, and factors influence the effect. On the basis of this analysis, guidance for sponsorship management and future research are provided.
