Brands may be perceived as possessing a set of distinct traits or characteristics, i.e., a personality, similar to a person. Thus, the personality of a brand is relevant as a source of differentiation in an increasingly competitive market environment. In this study, the authors explore the dimensions of brand personality proposed by J. Aaker (1997), seeking to discover the particular evaluation dimensions of the Brazilian context. The study was conducted in exploratory stages, beginning with a preparatory stage that was carried out by professionals and academics from the fields of communication and marketing. This was followed by stages of conclusive research using an online survey with a sample of 1,302 Brazilian consumers. Two sub-samples were extracted: one calibration sample for exploratory factor analysis and a validation sample to perform confirmatory factor analysis in order to verify the convergent and discriminant validities of the final scale. Five dimensions of brand personality in Brazil were detected: credibility, joy, audacity, sophistication and sensitivity. These dimensions showed some differences in comparison with similar studies that had been carried out in other countries. The study led to a scale of 28 items for measuring brand personality and made it possible to compare competing brands in terms of brand personality.
The study here probes the perspective that consumers use certain brands as actors that play roles in the consumers' lives and that help consumers as protagonists to enact roles that give them the feelings of achievement, well-being, and/or emotional excitement. The method enables the uncovering of archetypes as unconscious forces that drive consumers to specific actions implicitly and to a less extent, explicitly. The study employs two techniques: degrees-of-freedom-analysis (DFA) to test whether or not consumer stories fit a given archetypal theme and visual narrative art (VNA) to confirm whether or not consumer's own stories enact a specific archetype and how such enactments are done. This study offers an alternative for survey auditing consumer-brand relationships; the study here describes and explains the importance of narratives in consumer behavior and the use of archetypes as universal themes that aid understanding of brand-consumer relationships. The study describes DFA and VNA with two examples of the use of these analytics.
O processo de persuasão e mudança de atitudes é um tema explorado em diversos campos de estudo, com modelos clássicos estabelecidos na área de comportamento do consumidor há mais de 30 anos, como o Elaboration Likelihood Model. Ainda assim, alguns estudos nessa área vêm oferecendo modelos alternativos que rivalizam com ou complementam o conhecimento existente sobre o assunto. No contexto acadêmico brasileiro, especificamente na área de publicidade, os modelos de persuasão são poucos explorados, e não existem trabalhos que enfoquem o modelo de processamento narrativo e seu mecanismo de transportation visando à posterior mudança de atitudes do consumidor. Este artigo procura preencher esta lacuna apresentando revisão teórica sobre os dois modelos e discutindo as diferenças e os espaços para o desenvolvimento acadêmico em torno deste tema, em relação a gaps na teoria existente e especificamente no contexto brasileiro.
A satisfao um construto bastante explorado na rea de marketing e comportamento do consumidor, tendo sido explorado em inmeros contextos pases e segmentos de negcio, onde se procura mapear os atributos mais relevantes na anlise do consumidor em relao a um determinado produto ou servio. Este estudo procurou identificar e propor uma escala para medir a satisfao do consumidor em relao s festas e baladas, mercado que apresenta forte crescimento e profissionalizao no atual momento e que no foi explorado academicamente. O mtodo para consolidao de uma escala seguiu procedimentos sugeridos pela literatura, incluindo uma anlise exploratria qualitativa para delinear o contexto e objeto em questo e gerar os itens pertinentes satisfao do consumidor no segmento, o uso de tcnicas de anlise fatorial exploratria para refinamento de um modelo e de tcnica de anlise fatorial confirmatria para teste e depurao do modelo. O modelo final proposto de segunda ordem com ndices adequados e fatores interpretveis e composto por seis dimenses, sendo eles, perfil da festa, agilidade do servio, banheiros, companhia, preo cobrado e conforto. Por fim, so discutidos os aspectos resultantes da avaliao do consumidor quanto satisfao em relao a um servio como o de festas e baladas, e so sugeridos avanos na pesquisa em questo para consolidao da escala.DOI: 10.5585/remark.v13i1.2510
