The Measurement Series of ESA webinars is designed to investigate the main challenges in sponsorship measurement, the different approaches and methodologies that can be used and to showcase best practice examples of effective sponsorship measurement.
Join us for three separate sessions as we help ESA members get to grips with sponsorship measurement.
In this Sponsors’ session, we will learn from the best about determining what to measure and how, the importance of measuring outcomes not just outputs, and proving sponsorship’s contribution to business objectives.
Hosted by Sophie Morris, ESA Board Director, these three sessions will provide a topical discussion and debate around one of the most seemingly troublesome areas of sponsorship management.
Joining Sophie on the Sponsors’ Panel are:
- Maeve Galvin – Sponsorship Programme Manager, Electric Ireland
- Marie Houlgate – Head of Sport, O2
- Nick Rogers – Sponsorship Lead, Cadbury
