Signing a sports sponsorship agreement with a team, athlete or event is only the first stage of a successful partnership. Perhaps the most important step is deploying the sponsorship and raising awareness around it, which is where sports sponsorship activation comes into play.
What are the main types of sponsorship?
Some of the most common kinds of sponsorship are:
- Financial event sponsorship – This is where a sponsor offers funds to an event organiser in return for certain promotional benefits.
