| description |
Consumers of the Generation-Y cohort, also referred to as Millennials, born between
1981-1999, include approximately 45% of the population in United Arab Emirates,
who have significant purchasing power. These consumers access social media on a
daily basis, but they often ignore brand advertisements that target them. This thesis
aims to investigate the causes why Gen-Y ignore mobile social media advertising.
United Arab Emirates is a multicultural society; Dubai, its economic center, was
chosen for this research because of its cultural diversity, and unique population,
where locals represent only 20% of the total population, with expatriates comprising
the other 80%. The purpose of this quantitative study of mobile social media
advertising and/or marketers on brand equity in the United Arab Emirates is to
determine successful strategies to engage Generation-Y on mobile social media, The
choice of mobile social media advertising is because, at the time of this study, there
has not been any systematic advertising technology model available for mobile social
media in UAE.
The finding of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between Gen-Y
attitude (p <. 05), mobile social media advertising (p <. 05), culture (p <. 05) and
brand equity. Moreover, the findings showed that Gen-Y attitude, mobile social
media advertising, and culture are significant predictors of brand equity. However,
the standardized indirect effect test based on bootstrap technique have shown that
Gen-Y attitude partially mediates the relationships between mobile social media
advertising, culture and brand equity. The results also indicated a significant
difference in culture based on the respondent’s regional distribution. Finally, the result indicated that culture moderates the relationship between mobile social media
advertising and attitude with brand equity.
This study may contribute to social change by improving the relationship between
social media advertising and marketers on brand equity among Gen-Y consumers,
permitting Gen-Y consumers to gain a stronger voice in marketing, and by
emphasizing the need for marketers to communicate and advertise more effectively
with Gen-Y. |
