Combine Promotion & SponsorshipBridgestone has developed promotion and sponsorship strategy with the NFL and other professional sports leagues as one of the cornerstone marketing investments

Bridgestone routinely uses to maintain itself as a trusted American brand. Two-thirds of all advertisers during the “big game” enjoy a boost in stock price, sales and brand awareness after the game. A 2009 Nielsen report found that American consumers are more engaged and trusting of advertising showed during sporting events compared to many other types of content on television (like reality TV shows, for example).

Bridgestone understands this relationship and knows that sponsorship is a strategy that builds brand awareness and builds on brand consideration. In 2013, they dropped exclusive ad investment in Super Bowl advertising (they continued to advertise in the Super Bowl, just spent less) in favor of having engagement points (like ski season and holiday travel) throughout the season. In 2013, Bridgestone targeted $45 million to its sponsorship of the NFL, NHL and PGA under the Bridgestone brand and to the MLB for the Firestone brand. This enabled the parent company to cover all its bases, without diluting either brand in any specific sponsorship arena.
