Does influencers' unethical behavior affect young adults' image of the brand?
Purpose: To investigate how micro and macro influencers influence young adults' brand perception and purchase decisions, and how brands are affected by influencers' inappropriate behaviors.
Methodology: The thesis is based on a quantitative study with a deductive approach. Through a survey, the respondent’s data were collected, creating a basis for the analysis and discussion.
Theoretical perspectives: The essay is analyzed through Aaker's Brand Equity theory, providing an understanding of value creation towards customers and the firm/brand. Theory of Word-of-mouth and famous spokespeople are applied, to provide further analytic material.
Results: The study indicates that micro and macro influencers contribute to low brand loyalty. Results show that both marketing strategies apply WOM, where more young adults spread information after a macro influencer's recommendations. Both strategies influence young adults’ purchase decisions to a relatively low degree. Macro influencers influence young adults' brand image positively and negatively to a greater degree, with a risk of a negative image transfer.
Conclusion: The study offers insights into how young adults brand perception and purchase decisions are influenced by micro and macro influencers. Knowledge of how influencers' inappropriate behavior influences young adults’ image of the brand, is depicted in the study. (Less)
