MARTIN JUUL JENSEN’s research while affiliated with Copenhagen Business School and other places

This article provides empirical evidence of a model for effectiveness of event marketing and illustrates the application of the model. The model is founded on research within sponsorship, advertising effectiveness, and the latest research on emotional responses within consumer behavior and neuropsychological theory. The model is formulated as a structural equation model with latent variables. Based on a golf tournament as the event activity for the well-known Danish corporate brand B&O, it is demonstrated how the model and measurement system can estimate the impact of the event on brand attitude as well as buying intention. It gives a better understanding of how an event influences the perception of a brand in the minds of the customers. Hereby the model can give directions for how an event should be designed to create positive brand attitude and buying intention.
