Abstract [en]

Much research on major sports events, such as Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup shows that a primary goal of their sponsors is to create a transfer of the sportevents brand image to its own. However, there is very little research on sponsors brandimage goals on other types of sporting events of smaller size, but still commercial.

The purpose of this study is to find out if and why sponsors have brandimage goals with the sponsorship of sporting events of medium size. Thereby the study contributes to a wider discussion about sponsorship and brandimage goals when it comes to events of medium size. Based on previous research in sponsorship of major events, new questions have been created to answer the purpose.. The poll was conducted on a sample of sponsors for the sports event Vansbrosimningen with a qualitative research, in the form of telephone interviews with the respondents.

The results of the survey showed that two out of three sponsors had no brandimage goals when they were part of the sponsorship, while one of them had clear brandimage goals with their sponsorship. However, all exhibited sponsors showed once they were in the sponsorship tendencies to have goals with its brand image, which has also been analyzed in combination with the outcome of the theoretically-generated questions. The results of the study should not be regarded as generalizations of other sponsors of sporting events of medium size but as an example of how reality could seems like at a specific moment in time.

Abstract [sv]

Mycket forskning på stora idrottsevenemang, t.ex. olympiska spelen och fotbolls-VM visar att ett primärt mål för deras sponsorer är att skapa en överföring av idrottsevenemangets varumärkesimage till sitt eget. Dock finns väldigt lite forskning gällande sponsorers varumärkesimagemål gjord på idrottsevenemang av mindre storlek, men som fortfarande är kommersiella.

Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på om och varför sponsorer har varumärkesimagemål vid sponsring till idrottsevenemang av mellanstorlek. Studien bidrar därmed till en vidare diskussion om sponsring och varumärkesimagemål vid evenemang av mellanstorlek. Utifrån tidigare forskning vid sponsring av stora evenemang har nya intervjufrågor skapats för att besvara syftet. Undersökningen har gjorts på ett urval av sponsorer till idrottsevenemanget Vansbrosimningen med en kvalitativ undersökning, i form av telefonintervjuer med respondenter

Resultatet av undersökningen visade att två av de tre tillfrågade sponsorerna inte hade några varumärkesimagebaserade mål när de ingick i sponsorskapet, medan en av dem hade tydliga varumärkesimagemål med sin sponsring. Dock uppvisade samtliga sponsorer när de väl var i sponsorskapet tendenser till att ha mål med sin varumärkesimage. Vilket också har analyserats i kombination med utfallet av de teoretiskt genererade frågeställningarna. Resultatet av undersökningen ska inte betraktas som generaliseringar på andra sponsorer till idrottsevenemang av mellanstorlek, utan som ett exempel på hur verkligheten kan se ut vid ett specifikt tillfälle.
