Resumo: | This study aims to investigate the impact of using influencers on Instagram as a communication tool for sportswear brands. While exploring this research field, brand attitude and the newly developed construct of brand coolness were evaluated for their effects on purchase intentions. Moreover, the current study evaluates whether the number of influencers´ followers influences the results. For that matter, an experimental study was conducted with comparison between subjects among three groups. Those three groups were designed to test brand attitude, brand coolness and purchase intentions of participants being exposed to influencer’s posts or brand’s posts. Further, the influencer marketing conditions differed in the number of followers (high number of followers/ low number of followers) to investigate the effects. Quantitative data of 310 participants was collected through an online survey and analysed. The results of this study found no significant difference for influencer’s posts compared to brand’s posts on the constructs brand attitude, brand coolness and purchase intentions, besides one exception: The dimension ‘Rebellious’ of brand coolness. Furthermore, the impact of using influencers with a high number of followers for the brand coolness dimensions ‘Desirability’ and ‘Positive Autonomy’ was proven to be positive. The study is the first one connecting brand coolness with the construct of purchase intentions and confirms a positive significant impact of all dimensions on purchase intentions. The results show that the brand coolness dimensions have a positive significant impact on brand attitude. Finally, this study provides an outlook on future research and limitations are discussed. |

Nesta pesquisa, a atitude e a nova construção de frescura da marca foram avaliadas quanto aos seus efeitos nas intenções de compra. Também, se o número de seguidores dos influenciadores influencia os resultados. Assim, foi implementado um desenho experimental comparando sujeitos de três grupos. Esses três grupos foram desenhados para testar a atitude da marca, o brand coolness e a intenção de compra dos participantes expostos aos postos de influenciadores ou da marca. Além disso, as condições de marketing dos influenciadores diferiram no número de seguidores (alto número de seguidores/ baixo número de seguidores) para investigar os efeitos. Foram recolhidos e analisados dados quantitativos de 310 participantes. Os resultados deste estudo não encontraram diferença significativa para os postos de influência em relação aos postos da marca na construção da atitude da marca, frescura da marca e intenção de compra, além de uma exceção: A dimensão 'Rebelde' da frieza da marca. Além disso, este estudo demonstrou dois impactos positivos: o uso de influenciadores com um alto número de seguidores em comparação com as dimensões "Desejável" e "Autonomia Positiva" da marca; dimensões de frescura sobre a atitude da marca. Finalmente, o estudo é o primeiro a ligar a frescura da marca à construção da intenção de compra e confirma um impacto positivo de todas as dimensões na intenção de compra.Souto, Daniela Langaro da Silva doVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaJäkel, Lena Johanna2020-02-28T09:51:31Z2020-01-2820202020-01-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/29723TID:202439658enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:35:17Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/29723Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:23:53.726795Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
