We review the concept of event sponsorship, then conducting a research on the effects on the brand image. As a reference to the literature review, we formulate several hypotheses concerning the effects of an event sponsorship operation on the image of the sponsor brand, and a number of variables moderating its effectiveness, namely the brand experience. Answers to the question of how brand image is influenced by the on-site practices of a sponsorship is first developed on a theoretical basis ,As well as many research questions, a mix of research methodologies is indicated to allow choosing the best-fitting methodology for each research step.
