Title
Towards a cyclical framework for the investigation and management of elite level sponsorships
Sponsorship is a growing marketing communications tool which can produce unmatched results when used effectively. As such, rigid and applicable management frameworks are of critical importance as the discipline continues to develop. A conceptual review of existing sponsorship management frameworks and their common components are presented before an alternate cyclical management framework is derived. A series of case studies with organizations investing in elite level, million dollar sport sponsorship was used as the research strategy. Data was collected through qualitative interviews with within and cross case analysis used to identify trends. Five pillars of evidence supported the view that sponsorships were viewed and managed by corporate sponsors under a cyclical framework. The cyclical framework allows for interrelations between sponsorship management components to be better identified and investigated, and demonstrate how a cyclical view of management can aid the ongoing creation of value in long term sponsorships.
