Sponsoring in Formula 1 : a quantitative study about congruence and brand personality (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studien undersökte sponsring, som har kommit att bli ett uppmärksammat marknadsföringsverktyg och forskningsfält. Specifikt har studien fokuserat på motorsport och ligan Formel 1, som är den snabbast växande sporten sett till antal följare. Mer specifikt undersökte studien kongruens mellan sponsorer och Formel 1 utifrån fem varumärkespersonligheter. Ett företagsperspektiv antogs och studien utgick ifrån företagens marknadskommunikation för att analysera deras varumärkespersonligheter. Varumärkespersonligheter definieras som en uppsättning mänskliga egenskaper som går att relatera till ett varumärke, och studerades utifrån Aakers (1997) ramverk för varumärkespersonligheter. Studien syftar till att undersöka kongruens utifrån en sponsrad organisation och dess sponsorer, genom deras respektive varumärkespersonligheter för att förstå om kongruens har den praktiska betydelse som teorin betonar. Då vikten av kongruens ofta lyfts fram teoretiskt ämnar studien att empiriskt undersöka förekomsten av kongruens i ett sammanhang där ekonomisk tyngd i sponsorskapet kan antas innebära särskilt stora förväntningar på utfallet, och således teoretiskt borde innebära kongruens mellan sponsorer och sponsrad organisation. Studien utgick från en kvantitativ metod där data samlades in via Formel 1 och officiella sponsorers hemsidor. Data som samlades in bestod uteslutande av engelska ord som analyserades genom en innehållsanalys, där totalt 16 sponsorer undersöktes. Slutligen genomfördes en statistisk analys för att undersöka samband mellan sponsorernas- och Formel 1s varumärkespersonligheter. Studien kunde inte redovisa ett komplett resultat där alla fem varumärkespersonligheterna studerades samtidigt på grund av variansskillnader i datamaterialet. Två resultat med olika justeringar i datamaterialet presenterades och därmed skiljde sig resultatet åt från tidigare forskning då studien enbart kunde undersöka två av fem möjliga personligheter i taget. En av varumärkespersonligheterna gick inte att statistiskt undersöka och uteslöts därför ur det statistiska resultatet helt. Däremot visade resultatet på att 12 sponsorer var inkongruenta med Formel 1 i en eller fler varumärkespersonligheter i test två. Två sponsorer var inkongruenta med Formel 1 i en eller fler varumärkespersonligheter i test ett, och övriga sponsorer antogs vara kongruenta med Formel 1 i var och ett av testen.

Abstract [en]

The study examined sponsorship, which has become a popular marketing tool and research field. Specifically, the study has focused on motorsport and Formula 1, which is the fastest growing sports league in terms of follower numbers. More specifically, the study examined congruence between sponsors and Formula 1 based on five brand personalities. A company perspective was adopted and the study used the companies' marketing communication to analyze their brand personalities. Brand personalities are defined as a set of human characteristics that can be related to a brand, and were examined based on Aaker's (1997) brand personality framework. The study aims to examine congruence based on a sponsored organization and its sponsors, through their respective brand personalities to understand whether congruence has the practical significance that the theory emphasizes. As the importance of congruence is often highlighted theoretically, the study intends to empirically examine congruence in a context where large financial costs can be assumed to imply high expectations of the outcome, and thus theoretically should imply congruence between sponsors and a sponsored organization. The study was based on a quantitative method where data was collected via Formula 1 and their official sponsors' websites. The data collected consisted exclusively of English words and were analyzed in a content analysis. A total of 16 sponsors were examined. Finally, a statistical analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the sponsors and the Formula 1 brand personalities, and thus whether they were congruent. The study could not present a complete result where all five brand personalities were studied simultaneously because of differences in variance. Two results with different adjustments in data material were presented, and thus the results differed from previous research as the study could only examine two of five possible personalities at one time. One brand personality could not be statistically examined and was therefore completely excluded from the statistical result. However, 12 sponsors showed incongruence with Formula 1 in one or more brand personalities in test two. Two sponsors showed incongruence with Formula 1 in one or more brand personalities in test one, and the remaining sponsors were assumed to be congruent with Formula 1 in each test. The study is written in Swedish.
