Brands are eager to gain their consumers love and respect by connecting with them in a more efficient manner in order to become a Lovemark. This happens very frequently in the football “world” as it is the sport with the biggest audience in the planet. This study analyzes the Lovemark Axis inside the sponsorship strategies directed toward the female audience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, with the aim of analyze the perception of the consumers exposed to the ads of the sponsor brands of the Peru national football team. Results evidenced that the love and respect elements for the sponsored brand contribute to the association of values and feelings of the sponsoring brand. These results support that although the construction of a Lovemark requires a great period of time, the use of sports sponsorship helps to generate greater visibility and association of the brand with the sport.

The goal of my diploma thesis is to describe and evaluate relationship of young people in Czech Republic towards brands. In first chapter I describe historical development of marketing approach towards brands, the function of a brand, its elements and the differences between brands and products. I mention and compare two diverse concepts of brand management - Kellers CBBE concept and Roberts Lovemarks concept. In the second chapter I characterize young Czechs at the age between 15 and 30. I do so thanks to information gathered from different sociological studies and from papers about phenomenom of generation Y. Last chapter follows the previous two and is purely about relationship of young pepople towards brands. I used for it facts described in the thesis above and data that I get from particular qualitative research as well as quantitative research that I realised by myself.
