Client Goals

 Ascertain awareness level of Client’s professional league sponsorship and key sources of awareness

 Measure impact of the sponsorship on image/perception of the Client brand

 Measure impact of the sponsorship on purchase patterns and overall brand consideration

Realities

 Client wanted to get a handle on awareness and brand perception as it developed throughout the sports season

SRi Strategies

 Design a 7-month online tracking study looking at fans and non-fans, with 4,500 total respondents. Key areas of questioning:

    • Interest levels in the property, including television viewing of programming
    • Awareness of Client sponsorship (unaided, category-prompted, aided) and key sources of awareness
    • Image/Perception of Client as associated with the property
    • Image profile of property and Client
    • Measure awareness of fans versus non-fans as a control

Measurable Results

 Client will use consumer awareness data to assess success of program and to identify areas for focus and improvement in subsequent seasons. Particular focus will be on creating programs to help sustain relatively consistent awareness levels throughout the lengthy season
