Abstract
In the early 1990s sponsorship be came established as a widely-used marketing tool in Spain. The Barcelona Olympics, the Universal Exposition in Seville and the naming of Madridas the Capital of European Culture were largely responsible for this. However, intensive sponsorship use does not necessarily mean appropriate sponsorship management. CarlosIlla, Sponsorship Manager of Spanish telecommunications firm Telefonica, has been always one of those few professionals who has managed to combine intensive use and appropriate management. In this interview he addresses various issues involved in sponsor ship management including the combination of local and transnational sport marketing, sponsor ship decision making and selection criteria, and different evaluation methods.
