7. Why would Cheerios sponsor a NASCAR race?
   10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Why would brands like Sue Bee honey and Cheerios cereal sponsor a NASCAR race? While most people can quickly see the relationship between a sponsor that makes tires or motor oil, not all corporate sponsors "fit" NASCAR in such an obvious way. In the first study to research the benefits of event sponsorship for brands that don't seem to fit with a particular event, researchers from the University of Queensland (Australia) reveal a relatively easy way for marketers to overcome a tenuous connection.
