<title><![CDATA[The effect of product placement in computer games on brand attitude and recall]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=89604</link>

<description><![CDATA[Media fragmentation and proliferation, in concert with declining television advertising efficacy, has engendered interest in developing more effective ways to reach consumers &#8211; particularly non-users of a brand. This study explores the effect of active product placement in computer games on both brand attitude Abrand and recall. Findings suggest that exposure to a particular brand in a computer game can increase Abrand among consumers whose pre-existing attitude towards the brand in question is fairly low. It was concluded that product placement within computer games is an effective means of fostering high spontaneous brand recall and even of influencing consumers less positively predisposed towards a brand analogous to non-users. These findings have promising managerial implications for firms looking to grow their customer base through acquisition and conversion.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Social influence model and electronic word-of-mouth: PC versus mobile internet]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Compared with laptop or desktop computers, mobile devices offer greater flexibility in time and space, thus enabling consumers to be connected online more continually. In addition, their small size, portability and ease of use with location-based capabilities facilitate sending and receiving timely information in the right place. Drawing upon a social influence model proposed by Dholakia et al. 2004, this paper proposes a causal model for consumer participation in electronic word of mouth eWOM, and compares the effects of PC-based and mobile-based eWOM hereafter pcWOM and mWOM, respectively. The paper posits social identity, motivations purposive value, social enhancement and intrinsic enjoyment, inherent novelty seeking and opinion leadership as antecedents affecting desire individual-level driver and social intention group-level driver to engage in eWOM. A total of 271 survey responses were collected from consumers in Japan. The proposed model fits the data reasonably well; all hypotheses are supported. The results reveal that desire only partially mediates the effects on social intention of social identity. Compared with pcWOM participants, mWOM participants exhibit significantly higher perceptions on social intention, intrinsic enjoyment and cognitive social identity. After recognising important limitations, theoretical implications are discussed and future research directions suggested.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Electronic word of mouth eWOM - how eWOM platforms influence consumer product judgement]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=89606</link>
<author>Mira Lee  amp;amp; Seounmi Youn</author>
<description><![CDATA[This study explores whether and how different online platforms to which electronic word of mouth eWOM communication is posted influence consumers' judgements of reviewed products. Additionally, this study examines the moderating role of the valence of eWOM on the platforms&#8211;consumer product judgement relationship. Findings indicated that, other things being equal, participants exposed to the review posted on the personal blog were more likely to attribute the review to circumstances and less likely to recommend the product to friends than those who were exposed to the review either on the independent review website or the brand's website. The effect of the eWOM platforms on consumer willingness to recommend the product to friends was found only when the review was positive. When the review was negative, however, there were detrimental effects on consumer willingness to recommend the product to friends regardless of the eWOM platform. Practical and theoretical implications of the findings were discussed.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This research examines consumer attitudes towards four sub-types of interactive digital advertising: internet-based e- and email advertising, and mobile-phone-based SMS- and MMS-type advertising. The differences in attitudes among these four sub-types of interactive digital advertising are also compared. Data are collected from three universities in Taiwan. Data analysis extracts three attitudinal forms common factors towards interactive digital advertising, namely, &#8216;informative', &#8216;entertaining' and &#8216;irritating'. Consumer attitudinal forms towards e-advertising and MMS-type m-advertising are both similar and positive i.e. informative and less irritating and entertaining. Their attitudinal forms towards email advertising and SMS-type m-advertising are less positive more irritating and less informative and entertaining. furthermore, the three attitudinal forms towards the four sub-types of interactive digital advertising are compared. Consumer &#8216;informative' and &#8216;entertaining' attitudinal forms towards e-advertising and MMS-type m-advertising are similar, while their attitudinal forms towards email advertising and SMS-type m-advertising are equal and lower than towards the previous two sub-types of interactive digital advertising. As for the &#8216;irritating' attitudinal form, consumers feel more &#8216;irritated' towards email advertising and SMS-type m-advertising, while their attitudinal forms towards e-advertising and MMS-type m-advertising are equal and less irritated.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The current practices in food advertising - the usage and effectiveness of different advertising claims]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=89608</link>
<author>Kihan Kim, Yunjae Cheong  amp;amp; Lu Zheng</author>
<description><![CDATA[A content analysis and a quasi-experiment were performed to examine the current practices in food advertising, and the usage and the effectiveness of different advertising claims across two food categories hedonic vs functional. The content analysis revealed that taste and specific nutrition claims are the two dominating types of advertising claims in recent food advertisements. Also, a greater proportion of advertisements for functional vs hedonic foods appeared to use such nutrition/health claims as general health and contains nutrient claims, whereas a greater proportion of advertisements for hedonic vs functional foods used taste claims. However, these current practices of food advertising were called into question by the results of the quasi-experiment, which showed that the nutrition/health claims were more effective when promoting hedonic vs functional foods, whereas taste claims were more effective when promoting functional vs hedonic foods in generating favourable attitudes and purchase intention. Implications, limitations and future research directions are discussed.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The relationship between academia and practice, particularly to do with knowledge production through academic research, has long been an issue of much debate. While the extant literature has provided conceptual discussions and numerous surveys of practitioner opinions, there have been few empirical assessments of academics' perspectives. Thus, we conducted a survey of 843 advertising scholars regarding their opinions about and perceptions of various aspects of the academia&#8211;industry relationship, such as research collaboration, research orientation and dissemination of knowledge. Overall, respondents were in favour of building closer ties with the industry to produce better research and strengthen the academy, with some variation by criteria, such as education level and extent of professional experience. In addition, major conceptual dimensions in this academia&#8211;industry interface were identified. Stemming from the majority opinions revealed in the study, 11 suggestions are provided regarding how the relationship between industry and the academy can be strengthened.]]></description>
