IMPORTANCE OF SPONSORSHIP
A successful sponsorship hangs on the alignment of brand values and overall strategies.
When a sponsor's image and values resonate with those of the entity they are supporting,
the relationship feels more authentic and impactful. Consumers are more likely to connect
with a sponsorship that feels genuine, leading to a more positive view of both the sponsor
and the sponsored entity. (Gladden, J. M., & Sutton, W. M. 2009)
Sponsorships hold immense potential for success within the IT business. By
embracing the principles of relationship marketing, businesses can develop strong, long-
term partnerships that deliver true value for all parties involved. From fostering
commitment and understanding motives to aligning values and strategies, this approach
ensures that sponsorships become a powerful tool for driving brand recognition,
enhancing image, and achieving marketing objectives in the competitive landscape of the
IT industry.
