Abstract

Brand equity co-creation can drive up platform value. In real world, celebrities play a crucial role in influencing brand equity co-creation. However, in metaverse celebrity-infused entertainment activities, there is a research gap in the impact of celebrities on brand equity co-create intention, which is crucial for marketing. Through a moderated mediation model, we examine the impact of celebrity virtual image and celebrity real-life influence on experience co-creation (parasocial relationship, presence) and further analyze the impact of experience co-creation on brand equity co-create intention. Additionally, we explore the moderating effect of celebrity real-life influence. Our study provides theoretical contributions by linking celebrity features to brand equity co-create intention from a virtual experiential-dominant perspective. We also find that celebrity real-life influence has a virtual-reality continuum and the characteristic of implicit priming moderating effect. We suggest that new media marketing practitioners recognize that metaverse celebrity virtual image branding and endorsement can be cost-effective while ensuring effectiveness.

在名人虚拟形象和现实影响力的影响下共同创造元宇宙品牌资产:从体验主导逻辑的角度看问题
品牌资产共创可以提升平台价值。在现实世界中,名人在影响品牌资产共创方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,在元海外名人参与的娱乐活动中,名人对品牌资产共创意向的影响是一个研究空白,而品牌资产共创意向对市场营销至关重要。通过调节中介模型,我们研究了名人虚拟形象和名人现实影响力对体验共创(寄生社会关系、存在感)的影响,并进一步分析了体验共创对品牌资产共创意向的影响。此外,我们还探讨了名人现实影响力的调节作用。我们的研究从虚拟体验主导的角度出发,将名人特征与品牌资产共创意向联系起来,从而做出了理论贡献。我们还发现,名人现实影响力具有虚拟-现实连续性和内隐引物调节效应的特点。我们建议新媒体营销从业者认识到,元宇宙名人虚拟形象品牌塑造和代言可以在确保有效性的同时实现成本效益。
