Where sponsorship deals have not been reported, the Sponsorship Today team actively seeks data through web searches and contacting sponsors, agencies and rights holders. Most sponsorship deals are not reported and, of those that are, the majority do not provide accurate fee or duration data. IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values. Such reports are frequently based on the maximum potential value of a deal and might include the total should all incentive clauses (such as sporting success) be met and no morality clauses invoked. In such cases, rights holders rarely achieve their maximum values. IMR also states all in-kind deals as an estimated cash value. Estimated values listed in this report are marked in red, whereas reported values are marked in black. All values throughout this report are given in US dollars. 3 CONTENTS Executive summary
