Gatorade Partnership Project

One of the ISM’s current primary research focuses is the Gatorade partnership project. In July 2008, the ISM signed a contract for a 36-month research partnership with Pepsi-QTG (Canada), to complete research projects with a specific focus on the Gatorade brand family. Pepsi-QTG, SDI Marketing, and the ISM are collaborating to further develop knowledge and best practices for students and future practitioners of sport marketing and sponsorship. The key to this development is the research-based approach that the ISM can provide.
