AGENCIES AND ROI
New Question: In 2018, we asked agencies to tell us what techniques and measures they utilize to demonstrate ROI for their clients.

Select Quote:
‘ROI measurement strategy for each client is customized. Some is sales driven against timelines and given factors; for others it is brand recognition and others employee engagement.”

Big Changes…Many of Them PositiveSO WHAT?
• Professional sport rise • Nearly $1B in rights fees
• Return of experiential assets on ROI, sought sponsor benefits & activation • hospitality, product
sampling and advertising • Perception of sponsor ROI
disappears in properties • Activation (CAGR 7.5%)
outpacing rights fees (CAGR 3.8%)
• Shift in reach: • “Go big or stay local”
• Property investment in servicing, activation, evaluation
• Is bias back for sponsors but not for their agencies?
• The rise of the “sponsorship agency” (39 out of 66 respondents)
• Measurement the priority
• VIK needs attention • Servicing gaps remain • Misaligned forecasts • Evaluation flat for sponsors • Gender
• Leadership 50/30/20 • Low on sponsor targets
