Prof Maree’s paper, entitled ‘The interrelationships between brand bravery advertisement credibility and advertising effectiveness’, explored how brand bravery and advertisement credibility influence the effectiveness of environmental sustainability advertising. Core findings indicated that credibility is key in driving advertising effectiveness. The paper was received well and elicited a lively discussion on what kinds of actions would signify a “brave” brand.
ICORIA 2023 also featured a doctoral colloquium, hosting the first writer’s workshop on crafting industry-relevant research, which was very insightful. The conference stimulated networking with global scholars in the advertising research domain, including editors of the top advertising journals in the discipline, namely Journal of Advertising, International Journal of Advertising, Journal of Advertising Research, and Journal of Interactive Advertising.
