Fast Food Love-themed Ads: Brand Experience in Storytelling

Raymond Allan G. Vergara | Kimberly Christie S. Vergara

Abstract:

This study seeks to understand how the brand experience of Jollibee and McDonald's were co-created through its love-themed ads. Using a case-based approach and a netnographic data collection method, it finds that brand experience may be co-created individually and communally. Brands have many opportunities to engage with and co-create value with their consumers through engaging stories that consumers find relatable.
