How Leading Brands Are Connecting Sponsorship to Business Results

In order to keep up with changes in consumer behavior, deals between sponsor brands and sports properties have begun to evolve, with new metrics and KPIs being incorporated to address the brand’s objectives. With the performance-based sponsorship model, sponsor brands set certain objectives that sports properties are incentivized to meet and exceed, such as on-field metrics like wins or playoff appearances and off-field metrics like certain levels of engagement on social media or increased brand awareness within that market. The properties are then paid when they reach the goals set by the sponsor.
