Do other countries engage in this sort of crass commercialism/'marketing'?
Oh yes, it is rife in the US. Less common in mainland Europe, I think, but not unknown.
Sports teams in Hungary always have the name of the sponsor of that season.
Like if it was Manchester United Vodafone, and then next year something else.
"rife in the US" ...guess it not "our" fault for copying it then?
When the Lansdowne Road stadium in Dublin was rebuilt a few years ago the naming rights were sold, and it is now known as the Aviva. The name seems to have stuck, unfortunately.
Oh yes quite common in the US.

Not just companies. Prominent or wealthy donor families get their names onto things. A new display at the zoo. A hospital wing. A park.
Even non-wealthy families can have a bench at the botanical gardens with a plaque with a loved one's name. Or a brick in the new town library. In those last two, it's publicly touted as a fundraiser.
Not like an Oxford college then....
Many Dutch and German football teams are so named and have been since they were founded decades before WW2.....

e.g PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging),
Bayer Leverkusen
PSV and Leverkusen are slightly different, in that they were established as sporting clubs for employees of the companies, rather than the businesses paying to add their names to established teams as a form of marketing.
It has become common in Australia and is very confusing.

In Adelaide:
Football Park is now (Insurance Company) Stadium.

In Melbourne:
The Melbourne Rectangular Stadium is now (Same Insurance Company) Park.

It is not uncommon for one company to sponsor multiple venues and we also have venues that share sponsorships with European venues
I'm now selling the naming rights to myself: I offer guaranteed exposure on London's passenger transport several days of the week, around Zones 1 and 2, and guarantee to stand in queues (unlike many others) for an agreed minimum time for each event, to be set with the sponsor(s). The senior sponsor must supply suitable and sustainable apparel; subsidiary sponsors must supply their logo and up to one slogan, not exceeding four words.

As this will be a high class semi-exclusive offer, naming rights sponsors will be limited to a maximum of three in the first instance, for an exclusive period of one month.

Offers in writing please, on headed paper only.
