Department of Business Administration
Abstract
The purpose of the thesis is to measure the effect of consistent and conflicting sponsorship scenarios on brand loyalty of sponsoring firms among club supporters. The method of research is a quantitative quota sample survey study on 715 Swedish respondents. Through a deductive approach the thesis tests hypotheses. The theoretical underpinnings of this thesis are derived from Customer based brand equity theory, identification theory, image transfer, and social identity theory. Findings include that sponsorship scenarios influence the Protective Sponsorship Attitude among supporters, but not Brand Loyalty directly.
