Hardly can organizers of major events expect to receive some funds without expecting to give something back in return. A couple of years ago, sponsorship could be regarded has more charitable or charitable, but in recent years, that has changed significantly. In the business world there are two main basics of any successful business, the first one is a market, and the second is a demand or customers in this market. These two things at least will sustain any new business nowadays. Many fundamentals come will later in this manner as the market study, place, products, price, promotions, and lots which they improve any kind of business more for higher points. Some main ways of increasing the brand name of any service or product around the world are advertising, and sponsorship. The two companies I am going to discuss are two leading companies in the market the first is an airlines company Emirates, and the other is Red bull the leading energy drink company. Both companies are into sponsorships, and support a big number of team’s individuals in many sport fields, and they are gaining a lot of marketing successes through this strategy.

For this discussion, I have chosen the sports property of the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors play in the NBA within the Pacific Division and have a large local and regional fan base in the city of Oakland and state of California. Even though the Warriors have a large fan following, there are several ways of extending the Warriors brand reach beyond the basketball court with conventional sports minded consumers and non-sports fans. In order to accomplish this, the Warriors must think outside the box and look at attracting typically unaware markets and consumers that are missing the marketing and advertising plans that are currently being used. The Warriors can use partnerships, alliances, licensing, merchandising and sponsorship activation to build the brand awareness and effectively increase their revenue.

Athletes are a big part of the business community. The media exposure athletes receives cause them to be perceived more as celebrities. It causes them to have a greater impact in the marketing and selling of products. For instance, the tremendous amount of media coverage that Michael Jordan received gave him a prominent role in the business world. Athletic companies and various kinds of businesses wanted him to endorse their products. Now, because of his Nike endorsement, the athletic apparel and shoe industries are a big part of the American economy. Through endorsements companies now look upon athletes to strengthen their products. In most cases, this method is usually successful. This gives an overall boost to the economy, hence fortifying athletes’ significance.

Sports teams around the world value the importance of keeping their consumers (fans) happy and engaged. The NFL’s New England Patriots are very active in the community and have expansive social media sites and online tools to keep their consumers engaged and connected to all things related to the franchise. Over in Europe, the football franchise Manchester United has created a large following and making sure their consumers are engaged is one of the franchises’ main strategies (Emirates24/7). According to Forbes 50 most valuable sports teams of 2013, both Manchester United (#2 at $3.165 Billion) and the Patriots (#6 at $1.635 Billion) are included on that list. This paper will highlight how both New England and Manchester are identifying their consumers and how their activities are targeting those consumers.

With sports becoming more and more commercialized, sponsorships have taken over professional sports. In this paper, Alcohol and Tobacco sponsorships will be the issue of this paper. Sports sponsorship has become an important marketing tool for advertiser’s because of the flexibility, broad reach, and high level of brand or corporate exposure that it affords, (Krapp, 49). Yet some sponsors have created an uproar within the society, namely alcohol and tobacco products. These two make up about half of the sponsorship in professional sports today.
