Supporting an event/person/organisation in exchange for brand exposure.

Supporting an event/person/organisation in exchange for brand exposure.

• A. Public transport advertising
• B. Commercial
• C. Sponsorship
• D. Wholesale

Answer: (C)

Sponsorship is a partnership where a brand provides support—financial or in-kind—to an event, person, or organization in exchange for visibility and association with that group or activity. The brand gains exposure through logos on banners and materials, naming rights, media mentions, social posts, on-site signage, and even hospitality opportunities for customers, while the sponsored entity gains resources. This is different from advertising, which is paying to place a standalone message in media without a formal tie to the event or cause.
