“…It is also important to point out that in the past studies sponsorship has been most frequently explored in terms of its effectiveness in encouraging consumers to purchase products and services from the sponsor that promotes the same values that the target consumers represent and adhere to [16,23], or by emphasizing the importance of having a value fit between sponsors and a sponsored organization or sport club [23][24][25][26]. Viewed in this context, the additional value of this research stems from the fact that the results obtained show that sport sponsorship can be an effective method of encouraging the reverse process-the adoption of a new set of values by consumers, represented and promoted by sport sponsors.…”

“…This result is in line with the research results carried out by Armstrong [22], which states that philanthropic sponsorship will have a stronger impact on improving the corporate image of commercial sponsorship. Another factor that influences consciousness and sponsorship attitudes is the fit between the sponsor and the sponsored subject [16,17,[23][24][25][26], as well as caution in the selection of sponsored subjects in order to avoid adverse effects [27][28][29][30][31]. Finally, the activation of sponsorship is highlighted as one of the factors that predispose the efficiency of the sponsorship investment [24,27,29,32,33].…”

Attitude towards a sponsor has been studied extensively in the sports marketing and sponsorship literature (Biscaia et al , 2013; Dick, 2019; Kyoum Kim et al , 2011; Kim and Zhang, 2019; Lee and Cho, 2009; Maricic et al , 2019; Mazodier and Merunka, 2012; Visentin et al , 2016; Zaharia et al , 2016a, b).
