Beijing 2008 Olympics
Beijing 2008 Olympic Sponsorship
By Serena Gao

Beijing 2008 Olympiad is not only a stage of athletic sports, but also brings a wide stage to the enterprises which want to propagandize themselves by dint of the Olympic Games. The Beijing 2008 Sponsorship Program consists of three tiers of support, including the Beijing 2008 Partner, the Beijing 2008 Sponsor, and the Beijing 2008 Supplier. Up to 8th Jun 2008, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) has signed agreement with ten partners and six sponsors of the Beijing 2008 Olympiad. For each tier, there is a price benchmark. Possible price variations will be allowed to reflect specific industry conditions and competition and specific benchmark prices will be detailed further during the sales process with all interested entities.

Beijing 2008 Partners include Bank of China, China Netcom, SINOPEC, CNPC, China Mobile, Volkswagen Group (China), Adidas, Johnson & Johnson, Air China and PICC P&C. The Partner’s ticket is about 800 million dollars.

Now I would like to introduce an indigenous company of China - China Mobile (China Mobile Communications Corp., MCC.YY), which is a company of superlatives. It 's the world 's largest mobile operator, with some 373.6 million cellular subscribers, operating in a massive mainland market (540 million mobile users in China as of the end of Dec, 2007). But it 's a market where only 39% of the population has a cell phone, so there 's lot of room for growth.

The bar chart (1) depicts the proportion of several types of industries which is more adapted to sponsor Olympiad. And in this investigative reporting, China Mobile is included in the TOP THREE. So as the partner of 2008 Olympiad, China Mobile has a superexcellent chance to become a global well-known company. [pic]

Six enterprises have been selected as the Beijing 2008 Sponsors , namely UPS, Haier Group, Sohu, Tsingtao Beer, Yili Group and Yanjing Beer.

    However, this was a huge undertaking because you had to track and control all of the agreements separately for each sponsor to ensure they were providing the agreed upon funds as contracted. Soon after the IOC developed a 4 year marketing program to help simplify the process called the “The Olympic Partner” (TOP) program which would put in place the sponsors for the next four years until the following games were held. This was an exclusive world wide right to a specific product or service for one company for a four year period until the following…

    The global broadcast promotion of Torino 2006 was the strongest in Olympic Winter Games history. As more Olympic broadcasters made greater use of satellite and digital platforms to provide viewers with increased access to the Games, broadcast coverage of Torino 2006 Games reached a worldwide total of more than 16,300 hours, the equivalent of 679 days of around-the-clock coverage (Olympic, 2013). For the first time, fans in certain markets were able to access live actions and highlights streamed to their mobile phones, live video streams via the internet, and TV coverage in High Definition. It was an incredible 57% increase over the previous record of 10,416 hours of coverage established for Salt Lake 2002 (Olympic, 2013). Clearly, promotions worked very well. The 2006 Winter Games generated approximately $833 million in rights fees revenue (Torsen, n.d.). Another area that worked well for the 2006 Winter Games was the implementation of an anti-ambush campaign to protect the Olympic brand and partners’ rights. Ambush marketing is a marketing technique in which advertisers work to connect their product with a particular event in the minds of potential customers, without having to pay sponsorship expenses for the event (Business Dictionary, n.d.). Through intense advertising in key markets areas with a history of ambush activities, the IOC “communicated the identities, roles and contributions of Olympic sponsors, defined ambush marketing and the damage it can cause to the Olympic Movement and presented ideas on how stakeholders can combat ambush marketing” (Olympic, 2013). As a result of this campaign, more interest for brand protection grew among the NOC communities and global consumer awareness of the Olympic Games increased from 87% in 2004 to 94% (Olympic,…

    The economies of the countries who host the Olympic games generally have a boost in the economy. With a few exceptions like South Korea. Even with the Olympic games being hosted in Seoul, none of their companies were selected as top sponsors. “Korean companies are not on the list. Korea failed to avail itself of an opportunity to display its industrial and economic power to a worldwide television audience.” (Doc 7) One country that always contributed to the games was the United…

    Many advertisers take on the role of sponsoring sporting events or teams to bolster popularity and gain recognition through the team or event. Sport marketing urges memberships, sales, and recognition. These factors represent the biggest benefits for the companies, the athletes, the associations, the leagues, and sport event managers. Well thought out, effective marketing helps to understand the customer and the marketplace. Also, informed marketing decisions help increase status and importance in people's lives, sport is considered a profitable and sustainable marketing source. At large sporting events, sponsors like to take advantage of the large crowd to advertise products (handout products, freebies, contests, etc.) because more people will be able to see it. Therefore this is significant because not only is it a simple way to announce a product but it is also efficient due to the amount of people who would see it at a large event. “Another example of sports marketing through sponsorships, is the renovation of the contract between Adidas and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF). In August of this year the CEO of Adidas Herbert Hainer in companion of the president of the FMF, Justino Compeán announced the renewal of the contract in order to permit Adidas to continue producing and designing the uniform of the Mexican teams until 2018. This is an example of sports marketing because as it was define, sports marketing is a marketing strategy in which companies related to sports products or services promote their trademark through design, production or other resources. In this case Adidas, which is completely related to sports, is the company that is using sports marketing as a strategy, by designing the uniforms of the football team and as a consequence its trademark is being promoted every time there is a game.” (Wikipedia, Sports Marketing)…

    With this said, it is evident that a direct correlation exists between a country’s economic success and its overall performance in the Olympic Games. In order to become more aware of this relationship, history must be observed.

    This is a picture of a door that connects my family room to the kitchen, it was put in by my father during the Olympics, an event that attracted a lot of tourists into the beautiful city of Vancouver. The Vancouver Olympics used many First Nations’ symbols and mythical creatures for mascots. Though my family actively participated in the festivities of the 2010 winter Olympics, we were not aware of the past and ongoing violence against the First Nations. Though the 2010 winter Olympics gave many aboriginal groups the opportunity to showcase their art and culture but the aboriginal culture was still commodified through the numerous souvenirs in every gift shop around the city. Many of the group’s problems were put under the carpet for the…

    I tried to use the database research method given to us, but was unable to find details that I had not already found on a previous site. Although I did not have much luck with the database method, I was able to find an abundance of information throughout the internet, including an online eBook called Inside The Beijing Olympics by Jeff Ruffolo. A few of the specific terms that I actually searched were: The National Stadium, the National Swimming centre, the "Dancing Beijing" (which is the Beijing Olympic 's official logo), and the opening and closing ceremonies. I decided to search each of those terms individually because I felt that they had a lot of specific meaning and information behind them. Concluding my research, a little over half of my best information came from multiple reliable websites on the…
