Regarding how effective such sponsorships are, it may be difficult sometimes to track related metrics in order to measure the results and overall campaign success. Nonetheless, there are almost always intangible benefits, that cannot necessarily be measured but nonetheless affect the bottom-line.

In addition, such sponsorships are often a mutually beneficial partnership.

At the same time, brokers benefit from raising brand awareness and exposure while conveying a message of strength to existing and prospective customers.
