1.1 Background of the Study
Event sponsorship has emerged as a powerful marketing strategy in today’s competitive business environment. Companies and organizations increasingly leverage event sponsorship to enhance brand visibility, connect with target audiences, and foster goodwill within communities. In Jos South Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, event sponsorship plays a significant role in promoting both corporate and community events, from cultural festivals to sports tournaments. Sponsorship offers brands the opportunity to align themselves with events that resonate with their target audience, creating a positive association that drives brand recall and loyalty. According to recent studies (Adeyemi & Eze, 2024), event sponsorship has proven to be a cost-effective means of increasing brand awareness, particularly in local communities where traditional advertising may have limited reach. However, while sponsorship creates visibility, its effectiveness in fostering lasting brand awareness in Jos South LGA requires further exploration.
