This research addresses this gap through the development of a conceptual model that is tested through two studies that implement structural equation modeling. Study 1 finds that CAI leads to consumer-brand identification (CBI). Further, CBI mediates the relationship between CAI and brand loyalty. Study 2 expands these findings by understanding the role of brand and activity social benefits as antecedents for CAI and CBI and including a second brand outcome: brand relationship continuance. Taken together, the results indicate that consumers indeed rely on the activities a brand is used within to construct their identity in addition to the brand. Paradoxically, our findings also reveal that activities that support social interactions decreases CBI. Managerially, marketers should encourage consumers to form relationships with the activities their brand is used within. Additionally, managers could promote their brands as activity facilitators to improve brand identification. The research concludes by offering directions for future research and advice to managers.KEYWORDS: Consumer-activity identificationconsumer-brand identificationbrand loyaltybrand relationship continuanceidentityactivity relationship AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the ICN Seed Funding program for its financial support in conducting this research.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Financial supportThis work was supported by the ICN Seed Funding program.Financial interestsThe authors declare they have no financial interests.ContributionsAll authors contributed to the study’s conception, design, material preparation, and data collection.

It helps to better understand and predict trends and results, and rationalise decisions. The fourth industrial revolution has brought marketing 4.0, affecting marketing analytics methods. This study provides a holistic framework to investigate these effects on Marketing 4.0 analytics. To achieve this goal, a hybrid systematic literature review (SLR) and thematic analysis (TA) is conducted on the applications and models of B2B marketing analytics in Industry 4.0 from the most reliable scientific databases. Understanding these models and their applications changes the attitude toward communication between marketing channels, identifies potential marketing analytics applications for businesses, and facilitates areas for further research. Initially, 941 sources were screened, and ultimately 43 were examined. As a result, 25 codes were applied, and six themes were extracted, including Digital Transformation, Big Data, Marketing Analytics, Marketing, Analytics, and Customer.","PeriodicalId":47705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Marketing","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136376333","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}
