28 November 2019, (07h30-11h30): Breakfast Event
2020 South African Sponsorship Outlook Report!
The long-running Sponsorship Summit has been organised since 2012 and it’s a premier gathering of sponsors, rights holders and agencies respectively.
The Summit will serve as an interactive exchange of thought leadership on the most criticial issues for Brands in the modern day sponsorship arena and especially how to optimise their Return on Investment (ROI) and Return On Objectives (ROOs) respectively.
Custodians of brands will engage and network with their peers as well as rights holders of sport, entertainment and arts and cultural events as well as intermediaries like sponsorship and marketing agencies, in a highly interactive environment sharing best practices and solutions to continuously have a meaningful conversation with the connected consumer to measure the real return of its sponsorship.
The Summit will feature panel discussions lead by brand decision-makers debating as to whether sponsorship as a marketing activity still offers a high-connection with their key consumer targets and how it, as an outcome actually leverages itself against its own ROI’s and ROO’s.
The Role of Sponsorship Agencies is still a key conversation in the bigger scheme of things and a dedicated session will unpack the current trends in the sponsorship and marketing arena as well as assessing the continued value of managing a sponsorship between rights holders and sponsors.
The Rights Holders Panel Discussion will feature a roundtable discussion with major event organisers, sharing their perceptions of what creates win-win relationships in commercial deals with the actual objective as to how theirs could be brought closer to that of the sponsoring brand.
The “UnConference Session” will be a special highlight of the Summit where all delegates will be given an opportunity to raise their concerns regarding the value of current opportunities in the market, offering solutions to key challenges, engage their counterparts on what strategies work and also as to debate the future of sponsorship as an “effective” marketing channel.
