Organisational Support

Sponsorship is evolving into a strategic tool that goes beyond visibility, shaping how organisations connect with audiences and strengthen brand equity. This edition explores how thoughtful investment in partnerships enhances reach, influence, and long-term engagement across sectors.

First, ‘Irish Distillers wins Best Use of Experiential Marketing at Irish Sponsorship Awards 2025’ held just last month highlights the power of experiential marketing to create memorable consumer experiences. Their approach now informs broader sector trends, emphasising creativity, authenticity, and measurable impact in sponsorship strategy.

In addition, ‘Hyundai Ireland Continues Sponsorship of Dancing with the Stars’ illustrates the value of sustained investment in high-profile events. The partnership demonstrates how brands can maintain relevance, build loyalty, and strengthen consumer associations over time.

Meanwhile, ‘Mercedes Partners with PepsiCo to Promote Global F1 Brands’ reflects how cross-industry collaboration can amplify visibility on a global scale. It highlights strategic alignment where complementary brands leverage sponsorship to reach new audiences and enhance market positioning.

These stories show that sponsorship is no longer a transactional exercise but a driver of strategic advantage. They offer insights into how organisations are harnessing partnerships to create measurable impact, deepen engagement, and shape the future of brand influence.
