“With firms spending $60 billion on sponsorship annually, it has become an integral part of the marketing mix and is necessary for the survival of many sport organizations.”
“Despite the importance of these partnerships, conditions that may jeopardize what can be a long-term relationship for both sides are underresearched. Utilizing survival analysis modeling to examine a longitudinal dataset of 69 global sponsorships, the purpose of this research is to isolate factors that predict the dissolution of such partnerships and test a dynamic, integrated model of sponsorship decision-making.”

“From the perspective of the sponsoring firm, congruence and high levels of brand equity were found to reduce the hazard of dissolution.” “Results indicate that economic conditions, such as an inflationary economy, are a statistically significant predictor of sponsorship dissolution.” “Increased clutter was also detrimental, with every one sponsor added increasing the hazard of dissolution, demonstrating the importance of exclusivity in global sponsorships.”

“Firms are now investing heavily in sponsorship, yet much of this sponsorship fails to deliver the expected positive outcomes to firms.”
“This paper aims to address this problem by taking into consideration the nature of corporate sponsorship and the fit between brand image developed by corporate sponsorship and established brand concept.”

“Two separate studies were conducted. Study 1 aimed to test the main effect of two types of corporate sponsorship on consumer responses to the brand and the mediating role of brand image perception. Study 2 used a different design to test the moderating effect of brand concept.”

“The results from two studies indicated that two types of corporate sponsorship commercial and philanthropic influenced consumer response through varied mechanisms.” “Specifically, commercial sponsorship increased the competence perception of sponsors and thereby enhances purchase intention, while philanthropic sponsorship promoted brand attitude through strengthening the warmth perception of sponsors.”

“Moreover, the fit between established brand concept and brand image perceptions is critical for consumer responses. That is, warmth perception was more congruent with the self-transcendence brand concept, while competence perception fitted better with the self-enhancement brand concept in increasing consumer responses.”

“This research explored the role of athlete on- and off-field brand image on consumer commitment toward the athlete and associated team, preference by the athlete’s sponsor…..” “Data were collected from fans of soccer players…..”.”The results indicate that an athlete’s on-field image is significantly related to athlete sponsor preference…..”.

“…..the off-field image influences athlete commitment and team commitment.”.”This study contributes to a better understanding of how to manage athlete brands and linkages between fans, athletes, and associated entities.”

“In 2017, spending on sponsorship worldwide topped $65 billion whereas world advertising spending in the same year reached $535 billion USD.” “These numbers do not, however, tell the whole story on the importance of sponsoring in today’s marketing and communications landscape.” “In 2016, sponsors reported that their promotional spending ratio was on average 2.2 to 1…”

“Thus, additional advertising and promotional spending tied to sponsoring (currently counted in the $535 billion as advertising), if accounted for differently, adds $143 billion USD to the sponsorship ledger.”

“Sponsorship is a significant element of today’s marketing communication. Nevertheless, managers and researchers lack of systematic and integrative understanding of key factors that influence sponsorship outcomes and the contexts in which the relationships between sponsorship effectiveness antecedents and outcomes are stronger or weaker.”
.
“The authors attempt to address this gap by providing a systematic meta-analytic review of sponsorship effectiveness that incorporates….
(1) cognitive, affective, and conative consumer-focused sponsorship outcomes;
(2) sponsor-related, dyadic, and sponsee-related antecedents to consumer-focused sponsorship outcomes;
(3) sponsorship-related and methodological moderators of the relationships between the three antecedent categories and three outcome categories.”
.
“Our findings help assess the validity and robustness of the predictive capability of the antecedents, and they also offer a more generalizable and empirically established set of factors that are vital to the achievement of key sponsorship outcomes.”
.
“Several of our results afford noteworthy implications for improving the effectiveness of sponsorship research and practice.”

“Although sports sponsorships build brand awareness, they also can highlight concerns about the congruence between a fan’s identity and the sponsor. While sponsoring venues feature positive market reactions, we find negative market reactions for sponsors of European football team kits.”
.
“We suggest that the negative findings are related to concerns for rival fan backlash, as well as a perceived lack of congruence between the sponsor identity and the team identity.”
.
“In addition, market reactions are more severe for sponsors that are both North American and technology-based firms.”

“Despite its rapid growth and the forecast for its ubiquity, an academic investigation into jersey sponsorship is still limited. More importantly, although jersey sponsors today create visual congruity by modifying their logo colors on the jerseys to match the team colors, its role and impact remain unexplored.”
.
“Thus, the current research examined the effect of created brand-color congruity on attitude toward the sponsor, paying particular attention to perceived sponsor support and team identification.”
.
“Three experiments across two different league settings showed that created brand-color congruity was a significant predictor for both favorable sponsor attitudes and perceived sponsor support at all levels of team identification.”
.
“Perceived sponsor support also positively influenced attitudes, confirming the indirect effect of created brand-color congruity. The findings provide theoretical and practical contributions to the marketing and sponsorship literature by signifying the importance of created visual congruity using brand colors.
