Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Public relations (PR) campaigns play a crucial role in securing and managing sponsorships for events by building relationships, enhancing brand visibility, and aligning sponsor objectives with event goals. In Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Kano State, events such as Durbar festivals and trade fairs rely heavily on sponsorship to ensure successful execution. PR campaigns serve as a bridge between event organizers and sponsors, highlighting mutual benefits and fostering long-term partnerships. Research indicates that well-executed PR campaigns enhance sponsor satisfaction by ensuring brand alignment, audience reach, and positive public perception (Ahmed & Suleiman, 2023). Despite their importance, the role of PR in managing event sponsorship is often overlooked or poorly executed, leading to strained relationships and missed opportunities. This study examines how PR campaigns contribute to the effective management of event sponsorship in Kano Municipal, focusing on strategies, challenges, and outcomes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Event sponsorship in Kano Municipal faces challenges such as misaligned sponsor-event objectives, poor communication, and limited audience engagement. While PR campaigns are designed to address these issues, their potential is often underutilized due to inadequate planning, lack of expertise, and insufficient stakeholder collaboration. Previous studies have focused broadly on sponsorship without examining the specific role of PR campaigns in managing these partnerships (Bashir & Usman, 2024). This knowledge gap limits the ability of event organizers to leverage PR strategies effectively, resulting in suboptimal sponsorship outcomes. This study seeks to address these challenges by evaluating the role of PR campaigns in managing event sponsorship in Kano Municipal Local Government Area.
