Digital Advertising
Customized Websites With Partner Brands
Twitter
Skype Partnership
Facebook
Contests on mobile
Own Website
Most of the digital media advertising was done through partner websites like Redbull, Skype etc. Their
own website & social media were used to interact with the fans. Contests were run through mobile
Now that we’ve seen X Games’ presence across media and know a little bit of the even, let us analyse it as a medium by itself.
What kind of organisations would want to partner/sponsor X games and why?
Interactive Marketing Advertisements &
Promotions
Mobile Marketing Events & Experiences
FOUR MAJOR MARKETING COMMUNICATION OPTIONS
X Games is an avenue for
this type of communication
Events & Experiences
Public sponsorship of
events or activities
related to sports, art,
entertainment or
social causes.
$46.3 billion spent on event marketing
globally.
68% of which is in the world of sports
“Event sponsorship provides a different kind of
communication option for marketers. By becoming part of a
special and personally relevant moment in consumers’ lives,
sponsors can broaden and deepen their relationship with their
target market.” – Strategic Brand Management, pg. 221
The Rational
Identify with a
particular
target market
Increase
awareness of
product or
brand
To create or
reinforce brand
perceptions
To enhance
corporate
image
dimensions
To create
experiences
and feelings
To express
commitment to
social issues
To entertain
key clients or
employees
To permit
merchandising
or promotional
opportunities
So, who should sponsor the X Games and why? What type of company would have the best opportunity with the X Games.
Let’s look at some of their previous sponsors.
OFFICIALSPONSORS
EVENTSPONSORS
Guidelines for choosing which event to sponsor:
• Must meet marketing objectives and communication
strategy
• Audience should match target audience
• Event must be large enough and have sufficient awareness
about it
• Event must possess the desired image
From the previous three slides, its clear that the sponsors for X Games matched the criteria discussed. However, one final
criteria to keep in mind is – The frequency of the advertising.
Frequency of advertising is important because the X Games is
Biannual and is only useful for those periods as a marketing
medium. This limits the options that advertisers have.
