In addition, the spectator experience cycle is introduced with atmospheric correlations.

Michel Fauze Mattar 10 September 2007 (has links)
É notório o crescimento da utilização do patrocínio esportivo como ferramenta de comunicação de marketing pelas empresas. Este crescimento tem despertado o interesse por uma maior e melhor compreensão acerca dos atributos desta ferramenta, especialmente no que se refere à sua eficácia e aos processos pelos quais ela é adotada e desenvolvida pelas organizações. Esta pesquisa se propôs a estudar o processo decisório e os critérios de seleção que caracterizam a tomada de decisão para ações desta natureza nas empresas. As principais contribuições deste estudo residem na tentativa de promover uma reflexão acerca de uma utilização mais estratégica e eficaz do patrocínio esportivo ? elevando assim sua credibilidade enquanto ferramenta de comunicação de marketing ? e permitir um ajustamento entre as ofertas de projetos esportivos ao perfil das potenciais empresas patrocinadoras. O desenvolvimento do estudo teve por base teórica os fundamentos de patrocínio e sua contextualização nas atividades de marketing, incluindo conceitos relacionados ao composto de marketing, ao composto de comunicação de marketing, e às modalidades, objetivos e eficácia do patrocínio. O método utilizado para a realização da pesquisa de campo foi o de estudo de campo, por meio de uma pesquisa conclusiva descritiva realizada junto a uma amostra não-probabilística de 59 empresas nacionais e multinacionais atuantes no Brasil que utilizam a ferramenta patrocínio esportivo dentre suas atividades de comunicação de marketing. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação de um questionário eletrônico com perguntas fechadas, e sua análise baseou-se, prioritariamente, na interpretação descritivo-quantitativa das freqüências obtidas nas variáveis estudadas. Cruzamentos entre variáveis também foram promovidos para verificar relações entre elas. Como conclusão do estudo obteve-se que o processo decisório para ações de patrocínio esportivo nas empresas revela-se ainda incipiente ou inexistente, resultando, consequentemente, em uma ineficácia de sua utilização; outra conclusão, referente aos critérios de seleção utilizados para a adoção destas ações, é que os principais são a pertinência, a adequação, a repercussão, e a avaliação do custo da ação a ser patrocinada. Também se verificou que certas variáveis, tais como porte e abrangência de atuação da empresa influenciam na composição dos membros participantes do processo decisório para ações de patrocínio esportivo e nos critérios de seleção que compõem este processo. Com base nas conclusões, o trabalho sugere uma maior atenção e profundidade por parte das empresas às discussões relacionadas aos processos que compõem à tomada de decisão relacionada às ações de patrocínio esportivo. / The growth of the use of sports sponsorship by companies as a marketing communication tool is notorious. This growth has raised the interest for a better and higher understanding of this tool?s attributes, especially concerning its efficacy and the processes by which it is adopted and promoted by organizations. The main purpose of this research was to study the decision making process and the selection criteria adopted by companies during the occasion of a sports sponsorship activity. The main contributions of this study lay on the attempt to promote a reflection about a more strategic and efficacious use of sports sponsorship activities ? raising its credibility while a marketing communication tool ? and to allow an adjustment between the offer of sports projects to potential sponsors and the profile of this companies.

Another conclusion, referring to the selection criteria adopted by companies, is that the most used are pertinence, adequacy, repercussion, and cost evaluation of the action to be sponsored. It was also verified that certain variables, such as size (in revenue) and range of the company have influence over the composition of the members that take part of the decision making process and over the selection criteria that compose this process. Based on this conclusions, this study suggests a higher attention and deepness by companies on discussions concerning the decision making process related to sports sponsorship activities.

Customer engagement in Formula 1 : From an old man’s club to social media behemoth

Axelsson, Egon, Reinholdsson, Jakob January 2022 (has links)
Formula 1 is one of the worlds biggest sports, and in the recent years they as a sport has had one of the biggest upswing in the world in their viewership and activity on social media. Instagram has played a big part in this recent success and is the sporting organisations fastest growing social media. Formula 1 themselves claims that their marketing and engagement strategy is focusing on the digital mediums and that engagement from their fans has been achieved. The purpose of this study is to look at what extent Formula 1’s marketing strategy can be defined as customer engagement marketing and what specific characteristics can be identified as engagement marketing. This study has looked at Instagram posts published by Formula 1 during specific time periods each year from the year 2015 to 2021. Instagram is Formula 1’s fastest growing social media forum, and was therefore chosen to be studied. The time period covers the before and after the American media company Liberty Media bought Formula 1 in 2017, giving an interesting insight on the consequences of the media company’s marketing strategy. Using content analysis the posts have been coded into variables and then categories, determining which marketing strategy that is present in each post. The content analysis was designed according to a theory defining what customer engagement is and what different marketing strategies a firm can use to achieve it, customer engagement marketing. The result shows a strong presence of customer engagement marketing, and in many variables show an increasing trend from the years after Liberty Media bought the sporting organisation. The findings from the content analysis can therefore affirm that Formula 1’s own claim about focusing on fan/customer engagement is true on the social platform of Instagram. The findings further show that creating engagement marketing with a strategy of building relationships between fans, drivers and teams of the sport has been the most important for Formula 1. Further, feeding information towards the fans and making it easier for them to keep exploring and venture deeper in to various parts of the sport have shown to be important. This study aims to be a contribution both as a methodological resource and example for research using content analysis on social media, especially on a sporting organisation. But also as a contribution to the fairly new research area of engagement marketing on digital platforms by sporting organisations. Therefore it could be of interest to researchers that wishes to study the subject, or people working with marketing. The case of Formula 1’s recent success could be looked further into by other sporting organisations, with this report as a way for deeper understanding on parts of the process.
