Sports Marketing By Sam Fullerton Essay

Good Essays

In this short assignment is will be identifying sponsorship for each of the six categories noted in ch 4, Sports Marketing by Sam Fullerton (Sports, Entertainments, Causes, Art, Festival, and Association). I will also Identify one of the five primary objectives of sponsorship for each category (drive sales, improve image, create greater awareness, provide hospitality opportunities, enhance employee morale). I will evaluate whether, these sponsors and sponsees are a good fit .And will they be successful for the sponsor. For sports is will be looking at the NBA as the sponsee and its new food and beverage sponsor Pepsi Co. According to an article in Fortune Magazine titled “PepsiCo nabs NBA sponsorship rights from Coca-Cola “by Beth Kowitt. She states, the terms or the duration are not being disclosed, but the deal is worth significantly more than the previous deal with Coca-Cola. The new agreement also covers the WNBA, NBA Development League, and USA Basketball. Tingyi, PepsiCo’s partner in China, will be the exclusive partner of the NBA in China through its Master Kong brand (Kowitt, B., 2015). This is a good fit. It will give exposure to PepsiCo’s other brand. The NBA deal for PepsiCo is not the usual; Mountain Dew, rather than Pepsi soda will take the headliner. PepsiCo’s Aquafina, Brisk, Doritos, and Ruffles brands will be featured in this new deal (Kowitt, B., 2015). The primary goal of sponsorship PepsiCo is intending to accomplish is creating greater awareness.
