SPORT SPONSORSHIP ACTIVATION

Sponsorship Activation Plan

This activation plan was created in April 2012 in Sport Sponsorship and Retention graduate course at Indiana University- Bloomington. This project was designed to provide a detailed examination of the relationship between sport and corporate sponsorship. Myself, along with Seth Cooper, Ju Young Lee, Adia Waldenburger and Matt Roth made contributions to this detail activation plan. Specifically, I contributed slides 1-20 and created all of the logo examples. This project was for academic purposes only and to demonstrate our knowledge of theoretical premise of sponsorship, alignment marketing, strategic communication through sponsorship, activation process, determining the value of sponsorship, and evaluation of sponsorship activities.
