Course in Sport Sponsorship: Activation and Measurement Online

This course looks at the different types of sponsorship, taking into account that there is no standardized sponsorship model. A comprehensive overview will be given of the process, from the moment a company considers a sponsorship, or an entity plans to attract sponsors until the formal signing and activation of an agreement. Current trends in sponsorship will also be explained, as well as the measuring and setting of KPIs, which is increasingly relevant for decision-making and subsequent performance measurement.
