Penelitian ini meneliti tentang faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi strategi co-branding antara entitas komersial dengan entitas non-profit. Pada satu sisi entitas komersial ingin mendapatkan citra positif entitas non-profit, disisi lain entitas non-profit membutuhkan pendanaan. Kerjasama antara kedua entitas dapat menguntungkan, namun karena tidak semua strategi dapat berjalan sesuai dengan rencana begitu pula strategi co-branding tidak selamanya efektif malah dapat menimbulkan risiko bagi citra suatu merek. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa familiaritas konsumen terhadap suatu merek bukan berarti akan menimbulkan penilaian positif terhadap aliansi merek yang dilakukan.
