Branding in a digital world
Advertising Research TWG
ECREA Symposium 4th-5th of July 2013 | Pompeu Fabra University Barcelona

Call

In western media systems that have become increasingly complex brands play a pivotal role in advertising communication - be it in advertising for commodities, political parties or for the media themselves. Brands reduce complexity, they are a common point of reference for suppliers and consumers, they integrate multi-channel campaigns, put lifestyles in a nutshell, attract attention, and effect sales. The symposium addresses research areas, ranging from advertising communicators, media, messages, to audiences, and effects. What are the challenges of branding communication in the 21st century? What might be the USP of communication and media scholars’ advertising research? How do brands affect the self-perception of consumers (e.g. their body image and attractiveness)? What are appropriate theoretical and methodological approaches to analyse semiotically thick and emotionally charged brands? What are effect-interrelations in multichannel branding campaigns? In order to give an overview over the wide variety of advertising research in Europe the TWG welcomes contributions from many different perspectives. Empirical and theoretical work is welcome as well as methodological, historical or critical approaches to advertising research.
