Evaluation Model Development 1. Interview key stakeholders to gain a thorough understanding of existing sponsorships and identify and prioritize sponsor s goals/objectives (in general and with sponsorship specifically) 2. Determine if there are any property deliverables critical to the success of the sponsorship (pre-screens) 3. Prioritize sponsor s objectives (rank and weight) 4. Determine necessary rights, benefits, audience fit and conditions/environment to accomplish sponsor objectives (criteria) 5. Score property based on its ability to accomplish criteria for each objective 6
