Sports sponsorships are a critical tool for brands to engage with sports fans, yet many marketers find it challenging to gauge the return on investment. A Forrester report reveals that 76% of marketers face difficulties in assessing ROI. Despite these challenges, many brands are increasing their sponsorship spending, reflecting the importance of sports in a fragmented media landscape. The partnership between Mobil1 and NASCAR serves as an example, utilizing Amazon to enhance sales tracking through innovative ad formats.
