RED ALERT
Sponsorship is not just another form of advertising; it should connect with consumers in a different way and supplement your brand’s other activities. Sponsorship allows your brand to connect with consumers in a more intimate way, by associating your brand with what matters to your target audience. It can be an event, cause, team or venue; regardless, the goal is to create positive publicity and connections for your brand.
Selecting the right properties and effectively linking your brand to it is critical to ensure the widest possible exposure among your core target group. The media coverage and viral publicity your sponsorship creates can provide a level of exposure that would be otherwise unaffordable.
In order to provide a holistic evaluation of the impact and effectiveness of your sponsorship investment, there are five key building blocks that we have developed as follows:
A AWARENESS
L LINKAGE
E EQUITY EFFECT
R RESPONSE
T TARGET ACCESS
These metrics have been tried, tested and validated across a range of industry sectors and allow us to provide you with a relative and absolute evaluation of your sponsorship investment.
