Obviously, the first place for any news is www.kelvin-hassell.co.uk unless a release embargo dictates otherwise. News for each of the series we race in, relating to us, will naturally appear on their website. All get linked through our social media.Other places that regularly carry Kelvin Hassell Racing related news are www.motorsport.com, www.thegrid.co.uk and www.ukovalracing.info .

How we measure exposure for our sponsors

We provide this model to help our sponsors evaluate our performance with regard to media exposure. We use this if the sponsor does not already have an evaluation model in place.

We rate each item of media coverage based on two criteria:

1. The success of communicating the sponsor’s message.

2. The success in reaching the target market.

In all our proposals we talk about what the sponsor wishes to achieve from the partnership. With regard to media representation, it must be clear and agreed on the exact message your company wants to send out and the exact audience it wishes to receive it.

How we measure the marketing message

This is done using a scale from 0 to 10

0 = No mention of sponsor

4 = MAXIMUM number offered for visible logo OR a simple mention. (i.e. The #88 “Sponsor’s name” Ford Fusion ran a great race.)

6 = MINIMUM number allocated to communication of the sponsors message.

How we measure the target market

Target market evaluation is based on the percentage of target market reached rather than overall circulation/viewers. We use a magazine or papers demographic information where available.

An article in Car and Mechanic will be more beneficial to a company selling air filters than an article in Cosmopolitan, despite the higher circulation of the latter.

We give 1 point for every 10% of your total target market reach.

Results

We now have two scores which we multiply together to give us a score out of 100.

Scores of 16 or lower are considered to be of little or no value to our sponsors.

Scores of 16 to 36 are considered of medium value.

Scores of 36 or more are considered high value.

What would score 100?

A score of 100 would be the sponsor’s logo clearly visible and the sponsor’s message in the headline, on a magazine or newspaper dealing solely with the sponsor’s target audience. The reason we don’t attach a monetary value to media coverage is that it would be impossible to just buy the above example. It could only ever happen through well placed sponsorship.

 

Depending on the type of sponsorship purchased, a graph will be made available to sponsors at the end of the sponsorship period to show the effectiveness of the media exposure side of the sponsorship package.
