This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsorship has steadily gained importance in the marketing communication mix as indirect form of marketing in the past decades. Increasing brand awareness and building, changing or reinforcing a brands image are among the most important reasons why companies nowadays invest large sums into sponsorship and particularly into sport properties. Despite considerable research interest, there is still a lack of understanding of the relationship between sport sponsorship and customer-based brand equity in a global context which this study seeks to illuminate. By utilizing a holistic customer-based brand equity measurement tool, this study contributes findings from a real-life global sport sponsorship setting the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil. A pre-post event analysis including three of its sponsors among a matched sample of 177 respondents from the Austrian target market revealed positive changes in brand awareness and brand image for two of its sponsors, whereas image transfer effects could not be established. This discrepancy between the results for the three sponsoring brands is likely to be attributable to event-sponsor fit. Overall, it can be concluded from this study that for low-equity and low-fit sponsors, sponsorship may indeed play a brand-building role, while for high-equity and high-fit sponsors it may primarily serve to secure their competitive position in the market place. *****.

Download or read book Sport Branding Insights written by Constantino Stavros and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sporting world dominated by media and money, an understanding of sport branding is an essential skill for any sport manager. Success means being able to ‘brand’ – and therefore differentiate – a sport club, player, code, or event in a highly competitive entertainment market. For anyone seeking to understand or manage sport, this book offers an immediate and salient insight into the complex and dynamic process of creating a powerful sport brand. The book explains how a sport brand goes beyond just an identifying badge, reinforced by a name or a logo that helps sport consumers recognise a product or an organisation. It reveals how a brand becomes linked with consumers’ opinions and perceptions of a sport product and the organisation that owns it. Readers will learn how to create a powerful brand that has both recognition in the market and strong associated imagery, by imbuing it with a spirit of the past through appeals to tradition, by endowing it with human qualities of emotionality, thought, and volition, and through the use of characters, colours, texts, and symbols. It also provides a brief guide to the new domains of digital sport branding and social media. Concise, informative, and entertaining, this is an essential resource for anyone exploring or practising the business of sport.
Download or read book Measurement of Soccer Brands in Social Media written by Sebastian Straube and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Sport - Sportökonomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,7, Universität Münster (Marketingcenter), Veranstaltung: Roland Berger Praxisseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In the course of the rising importance of the economic competitive position of professional soccer clubs and as a consequence thereof the spreading of entrepreneurial structures makes the buildup and management of professional team brands inevitable. A professional and customer-oriented brand management is essential for the long-term success of a brand. "While (athletic) success may be fleeting, a focus on commitment to customers is not". The brand facilitates economic success independently of athletic success. In just a few years, social media, especially social networking sites, have become extremely popular: As of January 2009, Facebook registered more than 175 million active users that is over twice the population of Germany and the average amount of time spent on social networks increased by 82%. Companies have never had such an opportunity to interact with millions of customers at relatively low prices. Thus it is inevitable for professional soccer teams to build strong brands in the social media environment. Social media employs mobile and web-based technologies to construct highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, and discuss user-generated content. With this rise in social media the power has been shifted from firms towards the individuals that create, share, and consume Facebook entries, blogs, etc. Communication about brands occurs, with or without the permission of firms, which is another reason to join the discussions actively. This paper addresses the problem of how professional soccer teams can build strong brands, first offline and then specified for brand fan pages of social networking sites and how they can measure the success of their brand building actions. The flow of this paper is as follows: first, Keller's model of customer-based brand equity is presented. That initial section is followed by adapting Keller's approach to soccer brands and the paper concludes with a specification of that approach for soccer brands in the social media environment.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With companies spending more of their money on sponsorship over other, more traditional, forms of marketing, the need for an effective measurement tool has become important. A major factor in companies choosing to invest their money into sponsorship above other forms of marketing is its effectiveness in building on a company's brand. Therefore, these companies require a means of measurement that can reflect if this goal is being achieved. One concept that addresses this need is the framework of customer-based brand equity developed by Kevin Lane Keller (1995) and refined upon by Walfried Lassar, Banwari Mittal, and Arun Sharma (1995), that conceptualizes the concept of brand equity from the perspective of the customer. This framework provides insight into the perceptions customers have about a company's brand. This framework can therefore be utilized to measure the influence a company's sponsorship efforts are having upon those customers. The purpose of this paper is to determine the efficacy of this framework as a measurement tool for a company to utilize in determining the influence their sponsorship efforts are having upon a customer's perception of the company's brand utilizing Red Bulls sponsorship of the Dolomitenmann event in Lienz, Austria.*****With companies spending more of their money on sponsorship over other, more traditional, forms of marketing, the need for an effective measurement tool has become important.
