Abstract

This research investigates how different advertising appeals—rational, snob, fear, and sex appeal—affect consumer engagement with brand-related content on social media. Analyzing 1006 posts from 25 international brands across various industries on Facebook, the study employs OLS regression to demonstrate the significant impact of these appeals on likes, shares, and comments. It bridges the gap between marketing communication theories and consumer engagement, providing insights into real consumer behaviours in the digital advertising landscape.
