Download or read book The Credibility of influencer marketing and mandatory labelling The legal situation in Germany and its influence on acceptance and consumer behaviour written by Laura Larissa Klempt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1.0, Buckinghamshire New University, course: Leadership & Management majoring Marketing Communications, language: English, abstract: Following the wave of warning letters and court proceedings regarding surreptitious advertising, the increasing popularity of influencer marketing also reveals the legal dimension of this topic. The lack of legal certainty in this area results from trade association activities, such as the Association for Social Competition which systematically sue many influencers and collaborating companies for disguising the promotional nature of paid contributions on social platforms such as Instagram. Against this background, this dissertation examines in further detail the controversial scope of labelling and disclosure obligations for influencers in social media such as Instagram and considers the associated issue of "credibility of influencer-marketing" and potential effects on consumer-behaviour. This assessment is further supported by empirical data collected which is carried out with qualitative and quantitative research methods in order to establish (tentative) hypotheses based on research phenomena and consumer-behaviour pattern. In summary, mandatory labelling and disclosure requirements do not seem to "ruin" the credibility of influencer-marketing and do not take a major influence on consumer acceptance and -behaviour. Acceptance and market behaviour rather seem to be driven by other factors, including the character of the products and the company involved and the personal fit with the profile of the respective influencers. The research-project is limited to the consideration of influencer-marketing and compliance with legal obligations in Germany.

Thus, an extensive literature review will be conducted to reveal underlying dimensions, concepts and impact models of the social construct credibility. Those examinations will provide a well-founded overview of the current academic research in this field and will guide the author to the subsequent empirical investigation. Aligning with the structure of key sources, the researcher decided on a sequential exploratory research design, consisting of a qualitative questionnaire which serves as reliable foundation of the subsequent quantitative questionnaire. Thereby, the qualitative survey aims to define and refine the items of the credibility scale, select exemplary influencers for the following rating process and give the author a first feel about the respondents’ perception of credibility. In contrast, the purpose of the quantitative survey is to collect an extensive amount of data (n=385) to further select descriptor items that consumers associate with credible influencers and therewith, build a reliable and valid base for further analytical calculations.

Especially when it comes to choosing the most suitable social media influencer for brand cooperations it is not the origin of fame that counts, but whether customers identify with the influencer in the right way.

How do people perceive information shared by influencers, and which factors are decisive for potential customers to purchase products advertised by influencers? What impact does an influencer have on the overall Cx? The internet has been fully integrated into people's daily lives worldwide over the past years. The percentage of the world's population with access to the internet has doubled from 32% in 2011 to 63% in 2021. 90% of people from developed countries access the internet in 2021. At the same time, the number of social network users is increasing. These networks have the purpose of connecting with friends. In 2022, 5 billion people have access to the internet worldwide, and 4.7 billion people use social media (SM). Ultimately, 93% of those with internet access own at least one SM account, that is more than half the population worldwide. Through time, companies found new marketing strategies which reached active people on SM. These platforms are necessary to reach Generation Z, people born in the late 1990s. They are different and cannot be reached in the same way as they watch Netflix instead of TV or listen to Spotify instead of the radio, for example. Influencer marketing became a $10 billion industry in 2020. Influencers share their lives on SM networks. Due to their high reach, they receive offers from companies for cooperation. Influencers' followers admire and trust their recommendations due to their personal and authentic representation. While advertising products, influencers show how to use them, where to buy them, and give their opinion. For higher sales, influencers often receive promo codes for a discount or free products for each order.

Download or read book Influencer Advertising versus Traditional Advertising written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,0, Klagenfurt University, language: English, abstract: In the field of marketing, influencer promotions evolved to an established strategy to spread awareness about brands and to target potential customers. Especially the beauty industry utilizes the strategic communication approaches through the embeddedness of products into the creative content of influencers in order to persuade consumers. The purpose of this research paper is to examine the influencing power of those digital opinion leaders while comparing this potential with traditional print advertisements in magazines. In this process, particular focus has been laid on the perceived credibility of both marketing techniques applied on the luxury cosmetic market in Austria. Through a quantitative survey with paper and pencil questionnaires, data on attitudes and perceptions of 120 respondents could be gathered in Klagenfurt. Results of the study reveal that influencer advertisings are not automatically more influencing than traditional print advertisements. However, a positive pre-attitude towards beloved influencers affect people to develop a more positive attitude towards brands and products that were advertised by social media opinion leaders. These findings suggest that luxury cosmetic brands should create a marketing mix that implements a complementary storytelling strategy between influencer promotions and print advertisements. Thereby, companies can target influencer followers as well as consumers of older generations to achieve a communication concept which attract potential customers in a diversified way.

Download or read book Philosophy of Communication written by Briankle G. Chang and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical, modern, and contemporary philosophical writings that address the fundamental concepts of communication. To philosophize is to communicate philosophically. From its inception, philosophy has communicated forcefully. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle talk a lot, and talk ardently. Because philosophy and communication have belonged together from the beginning—and because philosophy comes into its own and solidifies its stance through communication—it is logical that we subject communication to philosophical investigation. This collection of key works of classical, modern, and contemporary philosophers brings communication back into philosophy's orbit. It is the first anthology to gather in a single volume foundational works that address the core questions, concepts, and problems of communication in philosophical terms. The editors have chosen thirty-two selections from the work of Plato, Leibniz, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Lacan, Derrida, Sloterdijk, and others. They have organized these texts thematically, rather than historically, in seven sections: consciousness; intersubjective understanding; language; writing and context; difference and subjectivity; gift and exchange; and communicability and community. Taken together, these texts not only lay the foundation for establishing communication as a distinct philosophical topic but also provide an outline of what philosophy of communication might look like.

Download or read book China s Influence and American Interests written by Larry Diamond and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.
