Different brands sponsor different sporting events Everyone has some sort of brand that they are either loyal to or recognize because they use it. These brands might sponsor one of these sports Sports are here for peoples entertainment and brands realize that people watch.
When conducting our focus group we developed questions that focused on what stuck in peoples minds. What did they remember ( whether that be a good remembrance or bad ) What they were interested in Important people they remembered ( bring up endorsements and testimonials ) Question from the focus group ( 1. Do you agree, disagree, or have minimal feeling about players endorsing a brand, or product? ) Do people remember a brand because of someone who endorses the product We conducted our survey to the class and received 14 responses. Once again we wanted to know what brands people associated with different sports. What people did while watching games ( eating / drinking ) What brands people thought were prominent in major sporting events that we covered.
Within our class of about 22 students, with 14 total full responses, we conducted a survey of 9 questions in multiple choice, check all that apply, and open ended format that dealt with sports and advertisements. We started with demographics such as age, gender, income and ethnicity and then asked more detailed questions about sports branding and why they watch, play, or attend sports events. One of our questions was a “What is the first brand(company, product, or service) that comes to mind when you hear the word “sports”. Since the question was open ended, we had to look into each response and try to narrow the answers down to a few keys choices. We were able to narrow it down to 5 choice (Nike, Adidas, The Giants, Gatorade, and Budweiser). 50% thought of Nike, 14$ thought of Adidas, 14% thought of Gatorade, 14% thought of Budweiser, and 7% thought of the Giants. After going over these results, it clearly shows that some brands or companies have more of an influence in the world of sports advertising than others.
