RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Advertising and Promotion Leverage on Arts Sponsorship Effectiveness JF Journal of Advertising Research JO J Advert Res FD WARC SP 33 OP 47 DO 10.2501/JAR-41-1-33-47 VO 41 IS 1 A1 Pascale G. Quester A1 Beverley Thompson YR 2001 UL http://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/41/1/33.abstract AB Using an experimental approach, the returns achieved by three sponsors of the 1998 Adelaide Festival of the Arts are examined. Using a before-and-after design with a control group, a mail survey measured the change in attitudes to, and awareness of, three particular sponsors and their sponsorship efforts, by members of the audience who attended one of these sponsored events, and corresponding results for a non-attending control group. Results showed conclusively that sponsorship effectiveness is directly related to the degree to which the sponsors are willing to leverage their investment with additional advertising and promotional activities and expenditure.
