The availability of FinTech provides an easier way for consumers to access various financial products through digitalised platforms. Unfortunately, the rate of FinTech adoption in the market is still scant due to various risks and the market perception towards its products. This article aims to develop a systematic literature review on the FinTech product adoptions during the last decades. The article provides a review of various theoretical frameworks used by previous research. As a result, this study outlines the factors that enhance FinTech adoption from the adopters’ (consumers) and innovators’ (firms) standpoint. The article also offers a new theoretical framework to enhance market adoption by highlighting firms’ internal and external focus together with consumers’ internal and external factors. This study highlights the importance of communications between firms and consumers in order for the firms to match their focus with consumers’ factors to enhance the FinTech adoption.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"233 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211032092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43479192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sentiment analysis was conducted on related posts of 15 companies from March to June 2020 with varying preliminary times for each company as the first donor. To complete the perception, the authors conducted a focus group discussion (FGD). Research shows that medium size and small–medium enterprises, such as local cosmetic companies and budget hotel are the first donors, followed by large or multinational companies (MNCs). In contrary with previous research, public perception was not influenced by the amount and the time of giving but was impacted by communication strategies, the empathy of the brand itself, and the company behaviour before COVID-19 period. This research’s novelty is the emphatic communication model to create, maintain and protect a company’s reputation.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"17 1","pages":"162 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211031164","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42354664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an emphasis on US government at these levels, this study examined whether the public’s credibility perceptions and trust in government, along with message exposure, influenced their adherence to information from the government about (a) stay-at-home orders, (b) social distancing and (c) COVID-19 testing. Source credibility theory and situational crisis communication theory provided the theoretical framework for this study. Through the survey data analysis, we investigated communication preferences in the wake of the pandemic and whether credibility perceptions differed according to the level of government. Survey findings revealed that message exposure influenced respondents’ perceived credibility of and trust in government officials during and after the stay-at-home order. Finally, practical implications regarding recommended communication strategies based on the findings were discussed.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"190 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211003856","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42376018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The world had little time to prepare for the ravages of a novel and highly infectious coronavirus. By February 2021, some 112 million people had contracted COVID-19 globally, and 2.5 million had died. Even with the availability of vaccines at warp speed, and vaccination efforts rolling out in early 2021, it is still uncertain how the pandemic—with all its highly infectious mutant variants—would play out. No one knows with any certainty what the endpoint will be, and what lies ahead. Since the spread of the COVID-19 was uncontrollable from the beginning, and little was known about the novel virus, the pandemic response has varied greatly at the global, national, and regional levels. Remarkably, several scientifically advanced countries had dismal pandemic responses, notably the USA and the UK. The U.S. arguably had the worst response, accounting for 25% (28 million) of the global COVID-19 cases, and 20% (500,000) of the deaths. In contrast, several developing countries of Asia and Africa have done a remarkable job of controlling COVID-19 with scant resources. For instance, to date, Bhutan has recorded only one death among its population, and Vietnam, Rwanda, and Senegal have, respectively, recorded 35, 226, and 700 deaths (Drexler, 2021). While the reasons for pandemic success vary from country-to-country, the key reasons for success centre around various communicative functions—the exercise of political will through the setting of media and public agendas (Dearing & Rogers, 1996), attentive and compassionate leadership with safety nets for the most vulnerable (Singhal & Rogers, 2003), clear cut publichealth guidance (Kim et al., 2014), early and relentless contact-tracing of people’s social networks, and a shared understanding of the value of preventive practices such as quarantining, social distancing, masking, and hand hygiene (Kim, 2020; Kim & Kreps, 2020). Unlike the disastrous leadership of Donald Trump in the USA, in Bhutan, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck set the policy, media, and public agenda for COVID-19 right off the bat by telling government officials that even one death was too many, that detailed plans be made, Journal of Creative Communications 16(2) 135–138, 2021 © 2021 MICA-The School of Ideas Reprints and permissions: in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india DOI: 10.1177/09732586211002930 journals.sagepub.com/home/crc","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"135 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211002930","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44824210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article attempts to characterise emergent agency during Covid-19 by drawing on a dataset of 200 case studies and texts on how human agency has shifted during Covid-19. The overarching finding is that while the pandemic has disrupted civil society, this disruption has also spawned the emergence of new actors, issues, coalitions, and repertoires. Larger patterns in emergent agency include civil society’s accelerated adoption of digital platforms, the critical role of communities and informal networks in Covid-19 response, the increased reliance on coalition-building, new opportunities for civic action around structural inequalities exposed by the pandemic, and the reshaping of citizen–state relations.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"203 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211015057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47447790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the five determinants (brand design, product attributes, brand personification, brand self-congruity [BSC] and brand advertisements) of brand anthropomorphism are explored. Further, the proposed framework is validated with the help of confirmatory factor analysis- structural equation modelling on the sample size of 626 respondents. After that, a logit model is developed for examining the effect of brand anthropomorphism on the probability of customers’ loving/indifferent behaviour for the hypermarket brands using logistic regression analysis. This study is a reasonable effort for investigating the underlying factors of brand anthropomorphism and its influence on customers’ loving behaviour towards the hypermarket brands, which adds a significant contribution to the literature of brand anthropomorphism, customer–brand love and customer–brand relationship.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"266 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/09732586211002104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44245117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dual perspectives are usually not studied in tandem but together offer insights into the creation of impactful health-related narratives. In-depth interviews were conducted with entertainment industry and health professionals (N = 6) who are experienced in creating health storylines. Questions aimed to illuminate how practitioners define ‘success’ of a health storyline, what they perceive as key elements for impactful health storylines, how key story elements are created and the nature of collaboration between the entertainment industry and public health. Grounded theory analysis identified three core themes for the successful combination of narrative entertainment and health: choosing teams with complementary strengths (e.g., leveraging professional collaboration and trust), knowing your audience (e.g., conducting formative research to understand who the story is intended for and why) and integrating health content in authentic ways (e.g., telling dramatic stories with universal themes, without creating from the intent of relaying health information). Best-practice guidelines for narrative entertainment to communicate about health, informed by the core themes and persuasion theory, are offered for narrative development, pre-production, content creation and dissemination.","PeriodicalId":43888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creative Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"249 - 265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0973258621992847","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42769433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
