The event must meet the marketing objectives and communication strategy defined for the
brand. The audience must match the target market. The event must have sufficient awareness,
possess the desired image, and be capable of creating the desired effects. Consumers must make
favorable attributions for the sponsor’s engagement. An ideal event is also unique but not encumbered
with many sponsors, lends itself to ancillary marketing activities, and reflects or enhances
the sponsor’s brand or corporate image.
