How Brands Can Waste Money on Sports Sponsorships

Description:

Marketers pour hundreds of millions of dollars into sports sponsorship. Understanding how consumers respond to different sponsorship levels as part of a broader advertising and marketing program for a brand is an important component to developing guidelines and norms for optimal marketing communications planning and budgeting. Our study used the comprehensive BAV data base and publically available advertising data among the top 200 national brands across nine diverse product categories to examine how sponsorship of Major League Baseball (MLB) by different types of brands and different levels of expenditures on advertising and sponsorship were related to consumer brand perceptions and brand equity.
