Developing a sponsorship, or working towards a partnership, requires detailed understanding of a number of different areas such as: how rights holders think, their challenges, sponsorship deal making and commercial negotiations to name a few areas.
By understanding at the very beginning of a partnership what both parties want to achieve, then they can work together to create a bespoke package of rights that fulfil the needs of both. The unique nature of sponsorship means that it can work a lot harder than other forms of traditional marketing, generate greater value for money, and go a long way in achieving pre-set objectives.
Sponsorship has become an incredibly powerful, meaningful and thriving marketing platform. With the development of the industry has come a greater level of intricacy and knowledge about how to successfully plan, manage and activate a sponsorship. It must be treated with the same level of thought-process, meticulous scrutiny and afforded the same specialist expertise as any other marketing channel.
In this respect, sponsorship has become a truly specialised area that requires experience and knowledge to ensure that a brand fully gets the maximum out of any partnership.
