Abstract

In response to the digital technology-driven shift in younger generations and the evolving values of citizen-consumers, brands are now expected to align with individual identities, fostering deeper connections with customers. This has given rise to brand activism as a pivotal marketing trend for differentiation in a competitive landscape. This article investigates the state of brand activism in marketing strategy literature while identifying research gaps. Conducting a systematic review of 1010 articles following PRISMA guidelines, this research explores the effects of brand activism on consumer behavior and attitudes, consumer-brand relationships, and financial performance. Additionally, this research examines the benefits and risks of employing brand activism as a marketing strategy.

Abstract. Social media platforms have become a tool for spreading information in society, it enables the government to use this media for giving information to the public, especially in pandemic situations. Social media has revolutionized the way of reaching out to consumers and communicating with them. Branding in social media strategy is commonly used in advertising and product marketing but has not been widely used in the health communication field. In this study, we shine a light on the new way health communications marketing is reaching audiences with health messages. The information adoption process in social media might be a strategy for spreading trusted information on the internet, so this study aims to examine the precursor of this case. Using Structural Equation Model (SEM) we identify the relationship between variables influencing certain behaviors related to health content in social media. This study used snowballing technique for collecting data through online questionnaires with a sample of 297 respondents who were in accordance with the criteria of the population. We offer insight for future research on these topics by discussing the public marketing role in social media interaction. Our outcome of the study to serve as a platform to positively impact future research on information in social media regarding health is being delivered to society. Furthermore, the study may develop a socialization program to educate society, campaign for a healthy lifestyle, and health information media using social media.

Abstract

Women's choice decision has gained lots of attention in the literature, particularly regarding how they evaluate attributes that are similarly important. The Indonesian skincare market is one of the most attractive markets, not only for local but also global producers of skincare products. This paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of factors that affect Indonesians when they choose facial sheet masks (SM) from three countries—Indonesia, South Korea, and France—and to examine respondents' preferences with regard to local or imported SM products. This study used a mixed method, starting with exploratory research to find the levels of attribute for each alternative. A hybrid choice model is later established with Python Biogeme to find significant factors, demand elasticities, and willingness to pay. From its exploratory research, this study ascertained several attributes such as price, packaging, quality, brand, refreshing effect, halal essence, and attitudes. This study found that price, quality, refreshing effect, halal essence, and attitude significantly influence SM choice decisions from the discrete choice. The results fill a gap in the literature by comprehensively examining product properties and attitudes that affect women's decisions regarding skincare products. It also contributes—particularly for the skincare industry and marketers—to further improve the SM market share, particularly in the Indonesian and Southeast Asian markets.

Abstract

There has been a substantial surge in people participating in collaborative consumption (CC) over the past few years, particularly on digital platforms. This phenomenon has encouraged some researchers to explore the motivational factors affecting user intention to use CC. However, the previous research has predominantly concentrated on identifying these factors in the context of CC service, with limited attention specifying the digital platform where the interaction among users is different. Hwang and Griffiths's model of intention that predicts the behavioral intention of millennials' participation in CC is unique in a way that it recognizes both attitude and empathy as the main factors affecting intention to use a CC platform. The model could be relevant for CC, as it covers different values such as utilitarian, hedonic, and symbolic values. This study has developed a model to make it comprehensive by adding several factors from past research: perceived behavioral control and online initial trust. We tested the model in the Indonesian context using partial least squares regression. One of the world’s most populous countries, In- donesia provides a thought-provoking digital CC practice opportunity. The results show that empathy and online initial trust are not significant predictors of intention to partic- ipate in CC. In addition, utilitarian value is not a significant predictor of attitude toward participating in CC. Thus, attitude is the critical factor affecting intention to participate in CC, and perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and hedonic and symbolic values are significant predictors of the effect of attitude on participation in CC. This study can provide valuable insight for those startup practitioners who create this type of business model, characterized by its rapid change and volatile nature. The results could play a role in guiding marketers specializing in CC to enhance their apps using effective tactics or strategies, thereby improving the customer’s participation on their platform
