ADVERTISING & BRANDS
Sponsorship spending on awards shows is expected total $139 million in 2016, up 4.3 percent from 2015, according to IEG research. That’s above the 4.2 percent increase in entertainment spending, but less than the 4.5 percent increase in North American sponsorship spending, notes IEG. “While spending remains robust, the tendency among corporate marketers to view awards shows as pure-play media buys rather than integrated consumer engagement programs continues to hamper spending growth,” said William Chipps, IEG Sponsorship Report senior editor. L’Oreal replaced Procter & Gamble as the most active sponsor.
