TV advertisement and social networks: an empirical study with young adults

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics

The aim of this research is to investigate the possible synergies between TV commercials and a brand Facebook profile. Different executional cues were tested to determine which one could create the greatest awareness of a brand profile and if, by choosing one cue over another, the intention to visit a brand profile could be influenced too. The experiment involved 400 young adults who were invited to watch a video online and, subsequently, to complete a survey. Results suggest that while the different cues were able to create different level of awareness, no effect could be observed on the intention to visit the brand profile.
