ADVANCING SPONSORSHIP ROI MEASUREMENT

The 2013 ANA/IEG Sponsorship Measurement Survey found that only 20% of marketers are satisfied with their ability to measure sponsorship ROI.  As a follow up to the survey, ANA is working with Sequent Partners Consulting on developing guidelines and best practices for integrating sponsorships into marketing mix models or other ROI measurement tools.  In this session, we will update conference attendees on this multi-client learning initiative to advance the practice of measuring the financial return on sponsorship investments.

AT&T DIALS UP THEIR SPONSORSHIP FAN EXPERIENCE

AT&T works hard to connect its customers to their passions, whatever they may be. In this session AT&T will share insights to their sponsorship efforts that are designed to help mobilize and democratize fan experiences in communities coast to coast. AT&T is tapping into passion points by taking the lead on sponsorships for iconic events, organizations and venues. At AT&T Stadium in Dallas, AT&T is transforming the fan experience through technology. As an official partner of Team USA, AT&T employed a mobile app to help far-flung fans cheer on American athletes competing in Sochi. And now, AT&T is swinging open the doors to the Tribeca Film Festival as the new presenting sponsor of the iconic New York City event. This session will provide vision into how aligning with these initiatives is part of AT&T's holistic approach to sponsorship strategies.
