Consumer Brand Engagement with Health and Fitness Brands on Instagram
(Title)
Abstract
Consumer brand engagement (CBE) is a nascent concept, seen to have reemerged alongside the development of the interactive digital world and social media (SM). However, a maintained focus on CBE as a strategic imperative in contributing in-depth consumer understandings has resulted in the majority of research omitting negative CBE expressions. This study addresses this imbalance by including characteristics of both positively and negatively-valenced CBE. Further, a wide exploration of brands is embedded in central CBE research, leaving the distinctions and dynamism within focal contexts unexplored. This study addresses this gap in the literature by investigating CBE with health and fitness (H&F) brands in the contemporary setting of Instagram. This exploratory study, conducting one-to-one interviews, investigates Generation Z’s perceptions towards H&F brands, aiming to address the concept’s ambiguity by understanding the key characteristics of positive and negative CBE manifestations and the subsequent consequences. Generation Z demonstrate a willingness to engage and participate with the H&F brands. Findings reveal an intensity across four prominent CBE dimensions, namely identification, enthusiasm, attention/absorption and interaction, disclosing both positive and negative expressions. This study further reveals the context dependent nature of CBE in the translation of concerns within the marketing and health psychology fields to outcomes at both the brand and consumer level. Along with a discussion of the findings above, an understanding of the theoretical and practical implications for brand strategies that aim to optimise CBE will conclude together with various future research directions.
