Über dieses Buch

Das Wissen darüber, wie man die Messgrößen für die Einbindung der Nutzer und damit die Sichtbarkeit der Marke beeinflusst, spielt eine entscheidende Rolle beim Influencer Branding - sowohl für Social-Media-Influencer als auch für Vermarkter. Basierend auf zwei ganzheitlichen empirischen Modellen und der Analyse von Daten aus der realen Welt kann Tanja Fink wichtige Treiber des User Engagements im Influencer Branding aufzeigen. Daher baut der Autor auf etablierten Modellen aus der Forschung in den Bereichen Promi-Endorsement, Produktplatzierung und Social-Media-Marketing auf. Die profunden empirischen Ergebnisse offenbaren überraschende und höchst relevante Erkenntnisse für Markenmanager, die eine gewissenhaftere (visuelle) Integration von Marken in User-Generated Content (UGC) auf Instagram fordern. Darüber hinaus erkennt der Autor mehrere Mechanismen, um die Benutzerbindung zu erhöhen und gleichzeitig die Reaktion der Benutzer auf die Markenunterstützung zu verhindern.

  2. Chapter 1. User Engagement in Influencer Branding as Research Objective

    Tanja Fink
    Abstract
    The emergence of digitalization and especially the rise of social media as a source of communication and information has forced brands to find new ways to interact with their target audiences.
  3. Chapter 2. Theoretical Foundations on Drivers of User Engagement

    Tanja Fink
    Abstract
    From a brand management’s perspective influencers represent a further digital brand touch point along the customer journey. Comparably to the concept of opinion leadership, SMIs can act as the voice of the brand. Though user engagement displays an important KPI within influencer branding and depicts a central metric of its influence on subsequent brand-related outcomes, research on drivers of user engagement within influencer branding is still scare. Hence, there is a need for a better understanding on factors which actually drive user engagement in influencer branding. To achieve this, this work will follow a systematic investigation of SMI-, brand-, and content-related drivers as conceptualized within the basic model of influencer branding.
  4. Chapter 3. Empirical Validation of Drivers of User Engagement in Influencer Branding

    Tanja Fink
    Abstract
    In Chapter 2 an extensive literature review in fields related to influencer branding (i.e. celebrity endorsement, brand placement, and social media marketing) served as the fundament for a theory-based derivation of potential drivers of user engagement in influencer branding. As a result five constructs from different research fields were identified and corresponding explanatory variables (engagement drivers) as well as further control variables were compiled for subsequent content analysis of real-world data.
  5. Chapter 4. Conclusion, Reflection and Outlook

    Tanja Fink
    Abstract
    The growing popularity of the new type of online opinion leaders in social media networks referred to as SMIs offers the starting point of this thesis. While marketers shift advertising expenditures to digital channels, consumers’ trust in these digital media channels is still on a comparably low level. On the contrary, consumers, above all, trust recommendations of family and friends — and those of SMIs who represent “friend-akin” individuals in users’ daily lives.
