At this Insights Studio, a global line-up of speakers from the U.S., Hong Kong and India presented their research on what drives influencer followers, consumers’ memory and recognition of brands, the value of sports sponsorships for brands, and disengagement in advertising.
These Journal of Advertising Research authors synthesized their recently published work and offered hands-on, practical guidance and methodologies that advance scholarship.
Topics discussed:
- Influencer Engagement: Six different consumer segments reveal tendencies that drive people to follow influencers, providing insights into managing social-media relationships.
- Tuning Out: What is disengagement? Why do people tune out advertising? Plus: a scale to measure that disengagement.
- Co-Branding Recall: How consumers’ short- and long-term memory and recognition of co-branding in TV programs is affected differently by familiarity and product category.
- Sports Sponsorships: Are brands overspending? The BrandAsset Valuator database is utilized to inform four dimensions of brand equity. A key finding: Brand personality matters.
